Today’s prompt is from my friend from Pseudopod, Alex Hofelich. He and I share a mutual love of Mothman, which should come as no surprise that his prompt for me is: Mothman's badonk.

Second day, second challenge. Today, it’s a drabble based off the prompt: Halloween in Space!

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
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: 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: 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
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.
