What I do know is that this creepy story had my number, alright- and my full attention! A series of strange phone calls leads to [I'm not going to tell you! You have to experience it for yourself!] Another wonderful piece of horror to haunt your ears on the Gather by the Ghost Light podcast! A terrific collaboration with Ruby Sky Productions!

Look, look! Over here! An IFO! Identified Funny Object! Otherwise known as a new John Busser play! This one is an extraterrestrial story with extra-snappy one-liners. Some prior sci-fi knowledge is helpful—but not required!

A terrific, biting piece about a secret revealed. Fantastic closing lines! Great monologue!

A fantastic one-minute play, featuring an unexpected celebrity cameo and a hilarious sendup of nerdy language!

I thought I was on the right track with this one… but was pleasantly surprised to find that I had been led astray! A smart, unexpected thriller, perfectly paced, like a well-maintained locomotive!

A wonderful script about sisters, poor decisions, and consequences. A final-page twist makes you reevaluate everything you’ve seen before it… Clever and surprising!

An eerie moment with a child-eating tree transforms into a charming piece about the importance (and safe practices) of imagination! A horror short well-worth the read!

A terrific science-fiction story that is both simple to stage and full of incredible depth. A piece about reconnection, grief, and finally hearing words unsaid. (Bonus: unexpected and heartwarming interpretations of insect behavior!)

Inspired by theater superstition, this piece is an interesting ghost story, one where the spirit affects the living in surprising ways!

This play, gluttonous and full of gluten, more than satisfied my appetite for a solid horror-comedy! An entertaining, twisted listen on the Gather by the Ghost Light podcast!
