‘Follow Wendolyn, a first-time author, as she discovers that behind the cosplay, panels, and raven companions, lies something far darker than she ever dreamed. When stories come alive, the fair becomes more than a celebration of fantasy—it becomes a reckoning.’

Today we read ‘Welcome to the Fantasy Fair’ written by Marissa Mcnamara, and published by Pink Hydra Press in their August 2024 issue. Marissa gave me permission to read this story on the podcast, and Pink Hydra Press was gracious and gave me their blessing! What results is a captivating story of achievement and dissolution, and a reminder to never meet your heroes. 

Thank you Marissa and thank you Pink Hydra Press!
