The Girl in Bearcloak Dungeon by Ben Green

Karyne (00:00:07) - Hi fantasy readers. This is Karyne Norton, your fellow book binger, and you are listening to the Finding Fantasy Reads podcast where you can test out a new fantasy story every single week to find your next favorite author. I picked today's story because I'm pushing myself outside my normal genres, and I think you all should too. If you like lit RPG gaming, quests, or stories that have some sci-fi crossover, I think you'll get a kick out of The Girl in Bear Cloak Dungeon. And if you don't like those things, I still think you'll enjoy it, because I loved it and I'm not into any of those things. Ben Green is the author of The Girl in Bearcloak Dungeon, and his storytelling started at a young age when he would tear apart his coloring books and assemble them into crossover stories with lots of drama and lots of glue. He graduated to Star Wars fan fiction as a teen, and began creating his own worlds on a brother word processor with a tiny screen and floppy discs. I actually kind of miss those things. There was something satisfying about lugging out the machine and folding down the keyboard and popping in the disc. I wonder if those will come back the way people have been resurrecting typewriters. Anyway, I'll be narrating the story for today. At the risk of sounding slightly mysterious, I'm going to warn you that the story will be best experienced in stereo. Which means that if you're anything like me when it comes to listening to podcasts in one ear and listening out for fighting children in the other, you'll need to stick in that second earbud to get the full experience.
