Why has it taken me this long to realize that the mother in The Lost Boys is named Lucy??!

A quick read from Jenny Kiefer’s Stoker-nominated debut novel This Wretched Valley. I dare you to read it while camping. #readhorror @jennykiefer.com

I’ve got a story in this one!

“What the fuck, man, what are you doing in my house?” Mateo roared, his voice scratchy and raw. He sprang out of the bed straight at Jimmie, fast as a coiled snake. Mateo caught Jimmie at the waist, his strong arms holding him in a bear hug. Jimmie beat him with the dead rabbit, pummelling so hard with it for a moment he thought it, too, had come back to life. The two men crashed to the floor. Mateo was bigger and stronger, but Jimmie was meaner. And Mateo’s legs were tangled up in bed sheets. Jimmie rolled away from Mateo, got to his knees and swung the rabbit at Mateo again and again. He’d forgotten what he held in his hand, only feeling that it was a weapon. He lost his grip on the rabbit, and it smacked against the wall. Mateo reached up with his hands for Jimmie’s throat. He was on his back, Jimmie with a knee on either side of him. Jimmie dropped down onto Mateo’s stomach. Mateo grunted, the air driven from his lungs and his grip on Jimmie weakened. Epiphany Ferrell - Muddy Water - Hiding Under the Leaves.

That's way cool, what an amazing experience! Wish I was there.

I wrote a personal reflection on Substack and on my web page. Link on this page. If you've ever been pulled in two directions—not by another person but by your own soul—please know you aren't alone. Say hi if you like. Peace.

I can't believe there's not a kickass video for this witchy song! Have you heard it? #Halloween

This just in — 46,000 pounds of applesauce spilled during a semi roll-over on I-57 in Southern Illinois.

Swoon. I adore Stevie Nicks.

Circe says hello back!

I’m still not sure about this place, but at least I’m seeing fewer “ask a dumb question to drive engagement “ posts over here.

I'm really furious with my cat for knocking my snake vertebrae off the shelf and not giving a damn about it -- not when it was lost, nor when it was found.

Did you waive rights to vengeance haunting? Or did it just apply to this lifetime?

My favorite Renfield.

I did once drop my phone in a lake — by accident! And now I'm always afraid I'll do it again on purpose.

Some mysteries will never be known.

The Horror Zine publishes well-written stories, promotes well-known horror authors, and launches emerging authors. As many journals do, this one includes a statement about what it's looking for, and what it doesn't want. Some of y'all are showing appalling ignorance. Enjoy your 5 mins of clicks.

Some of you have not read this journal and it shows.

This is one of my favorite songs and, imo, an under-appreciated spooky song. It's ethereal, poignant, eerie, and tells a fantastic little vampire story.

Does anyone know what to call it when you get a sudden urge to drop your keys into a sewer cover as you walk over it? Because I have that.
L’appel du Souterraines, maybe?
