Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

the wind is howling, my mind is vacant.
wednesday doldrums leaves time standing still.
nowhere to go, nothing to be.
poetry creeps and seeps deep within
my soul.

How do you avoid paying reader costs? The journals usually have to pay their readers looking at submissions, right?

What is everyone reading this pre-Halloween weekend? I’m finishing up Frankenstein, a book that has haunted me for 20 years.

Random Fact πŸ•―οΈ

Gothic horror was born from a nightmare.

In the 1760s, Horace Walpole dreamt of a gigantic hand in armor gripping the bannister of his newly remodeled Gothic mansion.

The result? The Castle of Otranto. The first Gothic horror novel, and the blueprint for everything that followed.
