Hare-Raising Summer (Paperback) β€” Cat Eye Press LLC Shop the first installment in the Navigating Nightmares series!

So, I wrote this book, and I’m pretty proud of it. It’s an interactive horror story called Hare-Raising Summer. It’s a little creepy, a little scary, a little cheesy, and hopefully a lot of fun. I hope you’ll check it because I totally want to write more of them.

Why are people always falling into vats of acid? Why not mix it up with like a vat of radioactive peanut butter or something?

The first, at 5:38 AM, says Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office over links to Jeffrey Epstein, citing the BBC. The second, at 2:01 AM, says Yoon Suk Yeol, South Korea’s ousted leader, was found guilty of leading an insurrection over his 2024 martial law decree. Each notification includes a β€œShare” option and a bell icon.

Watching other countries actually make their leaders and powerful men face consequences with jealousy.

He ducked and dodged that bucket like no one’s business. Figured he’d eventually figure it out I was trying to save the sheets but nope.

Anyway, who else is doing laundry tonight?

One of my cats started making his typical β€œI’m throwing up” sounds, so I run into the room and he’s on the bed. I didn’t think I could get him off the bed and away from the carpet in time. So I grab a β€œpuke bucket” I had laying around from a migraine the night before. Lil guy wasn’t having it.

So I learned something today: you cannot make a cat throw up in a bucket.

Is there a technology the left is excited about?" It's called the clamshell e-reader from It Follows, and I've been waiting for it since 2014

My first novel, NOCTURNE (YA supernatural horror), is about a girl who dreams the world's nightmares. She's led to the subterranean darklands, where they live and love her, while she becomes less and less suited to live in the real world.

All's Well That Ends Well Read it now

Thank you! Dreams are a subject near to me, as they are never just dreams imo, but your brain telling you the things you refuse to knowledge in waking life. Pay attention. <3
Anyways, here is my collection, my first, but not the last. I hope people will read it and enjoy! xx

Ohhh!! The matchup of the century! I think Bigbird would win as long as he can avoid Barney’s teeth. The purple dude doesn’t have any reach.
