Run from this place,
From the town of demons,
Walkers of the night.
Palm trees bow to their power.
Sand covers the victims.
Tourists flee the hotel.
The winds howl their name.
Recently finished "Not A Good Fit At this Time" by Adam Hulse and had a blast with it. Check out my Goodreads review for details but fans of horror, science fiction, and dark fantasy should absolutely give it a read!
The trees of the forest shiver and shake.
Their long limbs tremble from the next quake.
White is the color of my nightgown
As I stand and shiver with a frown.
A shadow emerges from the trees.
I hope it is not him, pretty please.
My body moves forward against my will.
I grab a thick tree and try to hold still.
I dig my feet into the packed snow,
But I must go where the wind might blow.
To Bloom in the Shadows is officially here! Grab your beverage of choice and dive into the Everautumn courts where shadows lurk and love isn't as simple as easy as the old faerie tales make it seem.
Saint Death's Daughter by C. S. E. Cooney is only $0.99 on Amazon (maybe other retailers too.) It was one of my favourite reads last year. Dark fantasy with a heart.
Be aware that MAGA Bucks have been seen on campus, they are worthless tender, except in the most foul nether regions of The Dank Dimension of Misinformation and The Cursedly Confused. You couldn’t buy your way out of the deepest holes of Tartarus, let alone purchase New York City real estate. An #Engoran Exorcism Ritual to expel all MAGA Bucks and those intentionally spreading them will commence at Midnight.
My best-selling book #SometimeAfterMidnight is a collection of poetry and short stories that take you on a journey from the depths of sadness to finally stepping back into the light of hope. Each chapter represents a time after midnight until dawn.

A town laden with mystery
and cursed by dark history
appears peaceful by day
until the cursed ones play
with the inhabitants' lives
like bears attacking bee hives.
Enter if you’re daring and feel these tales raise goosebumps along your arms as they take you from modern New Jersey to fairytale lands and back again. From witches to werecats and spirits to surgeries, this collection puts queer women...
I open the guest room door
as violent winds pummel the inn.
Lightning illuminates the blood
dripping onto the floor.
I shiver in fear.
Who else is here?
