This week, we're doing something a bit different. What you're about to hear is our entry from the October 2022 Phonic Fiction Fest, John Smith and the Cost of the Hungry Blade, as it was created by people all involved in making the show, and is an idea we want to develop further.
Detective John Smith is a hardboiled detective in a strange world. When a body is found with a mysterious knife which isn't the murder weapon, Smith must turn to Doe, his magical partner for help. Doe has been sent by the Guardians of the Forest as an envoy to the human world. But they’ve found a new candidate to represent them — too bad he doesn’t believe in magic.

EIRA MAJOR as ZARGOTH
ALEX KINGSLEY as JAZARAG
Written by ALEX KINGSLEY, J. R. STEELE, and NIGEL MCKEON
