The Ghost of Sadie Worth
The Ghost of Sadie Worth (previusly called The Ghost of Mary Worth) is a story about kids messing around in a cemetery on Halloween. I wrote it specifically for The Dunesteef Audio Fiction Magazine October Scary Story Event.
Update: On Monday, December 1, 2008, I received word that the Dunesteef Audio Fiction Magazine is going to publish my story as a podcast. They asked me to change the ending a little. They also asked that I rename the story since there was already a long-standing comic strip called Mary Worth. That's what led to the name change, but when I was growing up in Iowa, we used to go to the cemetery and chant "I believe in Mary Worth." I'm not sure when it will be published, but I'm hoping in January or February of 2009.
