Scary Things


One of my stories, Scary Things, is out on Bewildering Stories. It goes "live" on Monday, the 19th, but it's up now, if you are in the mood for a short story.

It's told from the viewpoint of one of the city's more maligned inhabitants, about some of the other inhabitants that can be a little more scary than he is.

Hope you enjoy, and have a good weekend!

Very good. the real horror of such soul sucking vampires is far more horrific than the blood suckers of legend.

Oh, thank you, Charles! I value your judgment and praise.

It was a battle for me to get this story published - both because of the work I had to put into it, and just getting someone to read it and get it and want to publish it.

"I have never cared for the herb some humans smoke, though I know some rats who take to it like cats to ’nip. But there was something else that didn’t smell right, something more than just the natural pungency of an herb."

I couldn't help but notice that we have more than just beer in common in terms of our shared interests. In fact, reading, writing, and beer I also consider to be my intersts. You lose me at proofreading though hahaha
