Spooky Challenge - Day 1
The first story of my annual writing challenge! Join me for the next seven days for spooky stories!
Today’s prompt from Marilyn D: It’s your last year of trick-or-treating, and your parents have let you go alone. At your last house, you ask to use the restroom, and when you leave the house, you realize the streets are all empty and all the lights along the street are out… including the house you were just in.
Withered Hill: Novel Review
I loved the folk horror elements and the use of dual timelines, I loved how the mystery slowly unfurly in trickles and drops, I loved the strangeness of Withered Hill, and I loved the brutality of the ending.
Something in the Walls: Novel Review
Something in the Walls was a fun, wild ride. From the twists and turns, the superstitions and madness a group of people can be consumed by, this novel did not let go.
In The Valley Of The Headless Men: Novella Review
In The Valley of the Headless Men is as poignant as it is chilling. Definitely pick up a copy if you’re a fan of folklore and wilderness horror!
Lure: Novella Review
The plot pulls at you like a riptide, you’re swept away, choking on the salt, as you watch the villagers suffer the curse of the sea.
I Believe in Mister Bones: Novel Review
Besides being a book about an urban legend about a monster named Mister Bones, the book also offers a pretty candid view on the horror indie scene. It was refreshing and fun honestly.
Crushing Snails: Novel Review
The end was a slowly tightening noose, a part of me wished Winnie would fight against it, the majority of me accepted this slow sinking into darkness along with her.
