With the upcoming 3 week mid-season break during The Magnus Archives Season 4, it’s a great opportunity for us to bring back something many of you have been asking for.

Welcome to Rusty Fears 2: Fear More…

After the rousing success of the Rusty Fears horror writing competition last year, we’re bringing it back this year, to see what new terrors you can bring to entertain us and our fans. And this time there is a THEME! This year, we would like to see your tales on the theme of Urban Legends. How you choose to interpret this is up to you, but we’ll be on the lookout particularly for original takes and/or exploration of tales that might be less well-known in traditional Western media.

Thus, would you like to hear YOUR words on air? This year, we’re offering the chance for 1 person to have their original horror short story produced and read out by Jonny and/or other members of the RQ crew (depending on availability) as part of the upcoming break. Full details are provided below, but you’ve got until the 23rd of May (the airdate of MAG140) to get your creative pieces to us and a judging panel will choose 1 lucky piece to undergo the RQ treatment and be released in the main #MagnusPod feed. So, pick up those quills and get writing!
