Fantasy and horror books and blogposts
Way back during MystiCon this year, I got to take part in a very lovely conversation with Sarah Oliver, Black Dahlia, and Wickedly Stitched Cosplay about Fruits Basket, one of the most beautiful, tender, and strange stories on hereditary chains of abuse that I have read.

Hey folks! I want to take a minute to announce a brief hiatus from regular programming for the next couple of weeks until the launch of A Sinister Quartet. As might be imagined, there's a lot of blog and social media appearances to put together between now and then, and between that and the pandemic... Continue Reading →
Helloooo, fellow humans. April is over and things are bumping along here in good ol' Virginia. We're still under lockdown and cases are peaking across the state. Which is...fun. But hey!
