I really love that story and also the way it ties so nicely with Jocelyn Szczcepaniak-Gillice's story. I read them both around the same time and it really feels like they could be in direct conversation!

The lovely @acwise.bsky.social also found the stories within #ChoicesAnthology to be both horrifying and heartbreaking, a true compilation of all the things horror should be

Hee! I'm glad you got a kick out of it. I figure it wouldn't make sense to anyone who knows nothing about the book, but it amused me personally, so I thought why not? It was great seeing you at Capclave. I hope you had a good con!
