She-Wolf - House of Gamut My sister has always lived by the dogwood tree, but her cabin is no longer her own. I return to it nightly, and every night there is less of her than there was the night before. The woods are constant...

My short story SHE-WOLF is free to read online at House of Gamut Magazine. It's a gory, sapphic, erotic horror Red Riding Hood retelling and you should read it if you need some vengeful lesbian werewolves in your life this Halloween.
