Dark Arts & Crafts

It's zombie month here at The Midnight Society! But except for this gem (below), I don't do zombies. But taking a photo of my Pride & Prejudice & Zombies & Brains piece only made me want to document some of the other arts and crafts lurking in my house. Because truth be told, this month is kicking my bum. So I kind of feel like a zombie...that counts. And so here, in no particular order, is my personal art gallery. And yes, everything is for sale*.                  [...]

Book Review: My Best Friend’s Exorcism by Grady Hendrix (well, actually, just the paperback cover because OMG)

To be clear, this post is not a review of My Best Friend's Exorcism by Grady Hendrix. It is a love letter wrapped in infatuation and sealed with the blood of a unicorn because THIS PAPERBACK COVER IS MY GD PATRONUS: If this cover was a man, my husband and I would need to have a very long talk. This brilliant paperback release cover of My Best Friend's Exorcism by Grady Hendrix was designed by the talented Mr. Doogie Horner, with illustrations by the venerable Australian artist Hugh Fleming. And oh. My. Demon. Aunt. did these gents nail it. I cannot de[...]

Fifteen years later I wrote a book. It sucked. I mean, I had a hoot writing it IN. ONE. SITTING. But it was garbage. And I know that. Now. And now that I am of-age for a hobbit, I have accepted the fact that my attention span is thisbig. I do not like reading long things. I do not like writing long things. So, a few weeks ago I decided to tackle drafting a colle[...]

My Book Stack Brings All The Ghosts To The Yard

You  may recall I grew up across from a graveyard. So, now that I think about it, it's no surprise that 66.6% of the books in my personal library are situated in, around, near, or under a graveyard. Here, in no particular order (cover art on a scale of wtf to gtfo) are my personal favorites:                 Any graveyard books in your book stack?[...]
