Acerca de esta escucha
Short Story Press presents "Paid to Scare", by Jasmine Bowen.
Kingdom Come is the most successful amusement park in the country, and every Halloween, the park turns into a haunted event with hundreds of actors to scare guests silly.
- It’s more than just costumes and makeup and playing make-believe for eight hours a night.
- Follow Jocelyn and Johnny, the king and queen of Kingdom Come, through a typical night performing at Fright Nights.
- The scariest thing in the park could be some of the guests they encounter: missing children, illness, pickpockets, and inebriated, violent guests.
- Being an actor is more than just playing make-believe. As Jocelyn and Johnny get ready for the day, they soothe young performers, deal with personality clashes, and develop keen senses to watch out for danger.
- Follow Jasper, the youngest performer at the park, a zombie on Rollerblades, as he scares guests senseless and entertains children.
- Follow Todd, a docile contortionist who considers taking his career in another direction when he gets an offer he can’t seem to refuse.
- Follow Billy, the childlike clown who never harms a fly, but is harmed himself.
- Peek behind the scenes as rivalries and clashing personalities surface in the 400-person cast.
- For the performers of Fright Nights, there is never a dull moment.

Historia
Some people are born boring. Some live boring. Some even die boring. Fred managed to do all three, and when he woke up as a vampire, he did so as a boring one. Timid, socially awkward, and plagued by self-esteem issues, Fred has never been the adventurous sort. One fateful night, Fred reconnects with an old friend at his high school reunion. This rekindled relationship sets off a chain of events thrusting him right into the chaos that is the parahuman world.

Historia
As an avid watcher of K-dramas, Hana knows all the tropes to avoid when she finally lands a starring role in a buzzy new drama. And she can totally handle her fake co-star boyfriend, heartthrob Bryan Yoon, who might be falling in love with her. After all, she promised the TV producers a contract romance, and that’s all they’re going to get from her.

Historia
Gabriel Delling might call himself a professional con artist, but when walking superstitions start trying to bite his face off, his charm is shockingly unhelpful. It turns out living nightmares almost never appreciate a good joke. Together with a succubus who insists on constantly saving his life, Gabe desperately tries to survive a new reality that suddenly features demons, legends, and a giant locust named Dale - all of whom pretty much hate his guts. And when an ancient horror comes hunting for a spirit locked in his head, Gabe finds himself faced with the excruciating choice between death...or becoming some kind of freaking hero.

Historia
The Price family has spent generations studying the monsters of the world, working to protect them from humanity - and humanity from them. Enter Verity Price. Despite being trained from birth as a cryptozoologist, she'd rather dance a tango than tangle with a demon, and is spending a year in Manhattan while she pursues her career in professional ballroom dance. Sounds pretty simple, right?

Historia
For most people, the story of their lives is just that: the accumulation of time, encounters, and actions into a cohesive whole. But for an unfortunate few, that day-to-day existence is affected - perhaps infected is a better word - by memetic incursion: where fairy tale narratives become reality, often with disastrous results.

What if life as we know it was just a game? What if instead of traditional schools, children learned by participating in a virtual reality simulation, one that allowed them to experience "life" from birth to death - multiple times? What if one player, on his final play, could change the world forever?

Who wants to be a superhero? Hope did, but she grew out of it. Which made her superhuman breakthrough in the Ashland Bombing, just before starting her freshman year at the University of Chicago, more than a little ironic. And now she has some decisions to make. Given the code-name "Astra" and invited to join the Sentinels, Chicago's premier super-team, will she take up the cape and mask and become a career superhero? Or will she get a handle on her new powers (superstrength has some serious drawbacks) and then get on with her life plan?
