On Ron’s Amazing Stories we have some good stuff. In the Audible segment we take a quick look at the history of advertising which leads to a very special ad in a very fictional audiobook written by Terry Brooks. The work is titled Magic Kingdom For Sale and I think you are going to like this one. It is one of my favorite novels from the golden age of fantasy.

Then we head to our featured story. This one asks the question, how far will you go to end a curse put on you? The story is titled Casting the Runes and comes from the OTR series Escape.

We end the show with a brand new edition of Johnny Is It True. I am going to tell you three real stories from history and one…. not so much. Your job is to guess which one I faked.

Our featured story comes from the OTR series Escape. What are your feelings about curses? Do you believe in them? Our story is titled Casting the Runes.
