Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you had a wonderful week, and a big thank you for swinging by. I don't know about you, but clowns tend to make me feel uneasy, whether it be an actual clown or some type of inanimate clown object. Clowns just give me the ick. So, I thought, hey, why not torture myself with a clown tale this week? Let's take a moment and meet…… Buttons by Jennifer Osborn Welcome to Cedar Grove, a quiet little town with an unfortunate problem. A killer clown named

Happy Friday everyone! Hope everyone had a good week, and everyone has a great weekend! Let's get to it. Today we are taking a trip down…. The Hole by KD Davies Paul is on a cruise, having the time of his life. While taking a bathroom break, Paul notices signs that state, 'Do not flush while seated on the toilet.' That's when the intrusive thoughts set in. Sure, we all have intrusive thoughts, but Paul acts on his. He flushes. What happens next? Well, you'll just have to grab

Reposting an older but excellent review for a story that deserves more attention. DRENCROM as reviewed by Sonja Ska. Cracking the spine of DRENCROM by Hamelin Bird feels like free-falling into a gruesome acid trip that’s way too intense, but somehow so fun you don’t want it to come to an end. Bird uses confusion to his advantage as he thrusts you into Coda’s adrenaline-fueled spiral after tracking down an elusive drug on the black web. Reality effortlessly cracks at the edges

Today's breakdown is for "Countdown To Oblivion" by Brain Bowyer. With impending doom on its way, this short focuses on a group of degenerates as they party until the swift end. Being my first by Bowyer, I thought it was a honest and raw look at the darkness in the world and a genuine look at the life of addiction. Well done. 4/5 stars.

But I have kept reading and writing! And this is the last of it until I actually read another book. Meaningless Cycles in a Glass Prison by Anton Cancre Scandals by Alex Osman Endless Now by Ira Rat Dark poetry doubtless goe

This series will be showcased on my Patreon first, every Friday this fall and winter, through early 2026. If you are not a patron, look for the new author spotlight to appear here on the blog every Saturday!
