Horrorstor has been sitting on my GoodReads list of books to read for a long time now, so imagine my surprise when I popped into my local library to grab some less boring bedtime reading materials for my minions and there it was, sitting all shiny and new…waiting for me. The premise is pretty simple. A particular American IKEA knockoff store called ORSK is experiencing vandalism in the middle of the night. The vandalism must be occurring between 2 and 7 am each night when […]
Road Trip!
What better way to end the school year but with humor…and I mean dirty humor! Geoffrey Chaucer wrote the Canterbury Tales as a frame tale (he got the idea from the Decameron and thought it was cool, the rest was history!). He sets up the frame by telling us about this large group of pilgrims who are travelling from London (Southwark) to the shrine of Thomas a Becket. Chaucer spends a lot of time in the Prologue of the tales describing the different characters both […]
A Serious Play About Trivial Matters
Most days I wish that I could create my own hybrid Algonquin Round Table and use my razor sharp wit to amuse my (fake/dead writer) friends. While I wish I was a good person all the time, I’m actually “best” when scathing…it’s a blessing and a curse. As I’ve grown up, I think I’ve tucked away most of these tendencies but I still think about my perfect round table. My line up shifts here and there over the years but always at the table are […]
Evil Doesn’t Die, It Waits and Gets Stronger
I was languishing in my bed these past two days seemingly dying from some horrendous stomach bug that two of my three urchins brought home. Luckily for me several things happened the other day: 1.

I had a lot of time on my hands because I was quarantined in my bedroom 4. […]
The Human Condition Peppered with a Wee Bit o’ Horror
A bunch of grisly murders involving all the victims’ genitalia being savagely ravaged (that’s a fun phrase when it’s not about you, isn’t it? It kinda just rolls off the tongue) occur in the small, remote town of Thussock. As dumb luck would have it, these murders only begin after Scott Griffith and his blended family move to this tiny town, as they run away from their own terrible secrets in the hopes of beginning anew. But things don’t go the way they want […]
You Keep Using That Word I Don’t Think It Mean What You Think It Means
Alma Harper is a young music teacher. She’s working on rekindling her romance with her on again, off again boyfriend Paul and life should be pretty good. But when two amateur ghost hunters roll into town they cause Alma to attempt to remember what happened to her, to her family in Widowsfield sixteen years prior.
