Welcome
Are you comfortable? Good. It won’t last long.
This is a newsletter dedicated to dark fiction, banned books, the strange and wonderful secret places of the imagination. I write about writing, authors, craft. Once a week I publish original short fiction. Sometimes I recommend books, poetry, stories.
Are you ready?
What’s that? You’re scared…oh. Here. Let me turn the light on.
There. How’s that?
Follow closely. It’s easy to get lost in these woods, especially at night. Pardon? The noises? Oh, we’ll get to that, but it’s best to do it where they can’t hear you.
