Horror as a lifestyle: The rise of spooky and gothic shops Slowly, steadily, a small but quite lively patchwork of horror-and-gothic-themed shopfronts and cafes and restaurants and bars have been replicating across America.

Horror as a lifestyle is now an option. And Illinois leads the way.

Aw! ☺️

I have some pretty big news and it’s a big first for me. I will be one of the Guests of Honor at Creepaway Camp next year in Colorado!

I’m beyond humbled and grateful to be here, in this community, writing and creating with so many incredible authors in the genre today.

Today, I'd like to say-

The Taino were the people of Borinquen. Borinquen was later renamed to Puerto Rico.

Some Taino words remain today.

Words like hurakán = hurricane, barbacoa = barbeque.

The Taino greeting is

Taino-ti

Which means - "I greet you with love because you are family."

My tv is stuck on Dawson’s Creek and it’s giving me a midlife crisis. It feels so long ago but so yesterday. Damn, I’m old.

Text apologizing for AI trash showing up on our accounts.
