A 16th century Japanese medical text explains how diseases were caused by tiny bugs that entered the body and were known as creepy germs or mushi. One of these was known as kosho, an odd, bearded, snake-like, sake-drinking creature whose hat protects it from medicine.

We have TWO life-size Michael Myers in our neighborhood, one gigantic 12 foot skeleton, an assortment of giant spiders, witches, and wraiths, and I've never felt such affection & kinship to my neighbors before.

With its friendly monsters, The Monsters of Marymount Mansion is the perfect middle grade book for ! Toby is a sweet monster, but with a scary apparence : he has skin like a fish, fur like a dog, and smells like cotton candy when he gets excited ! Courageous and curious, the young monster has a lot of adventures on Halloween !

I had planned to move onto more scary books and at this stage in , but the world right now is a nightmare and I don't need more horror in my life at this time... "Watt and Bothered" by Fiona Davenport - a "shocking" tale of electric attraction between the MCs.

We're just a day away from the start of my latest book giveaway, so I wanted to share the following image, which shows how the stories in "Shards" relate to the other works from "The Nod/Wells Timelines." Hopefully, this will give everyone some useful context, and some ideas about which other books of mine to explore if they enjoy their time with "Shards."

Note that you can always find the most up-to-date version of "The Nod/Wells Timelines" via my official web site:

It's September 15th! That means it's the official start of the Spooky Season 🦇 I'm celebrating day one by:

  1. Starting to read "The Only Good Indians" by Stephen Graham Jones. It's got tons of ghost deer, so I'm pumped!

  2. Watching "The Twilight Zone" reboot. The first story was creepy and interesting!

  3. Playing "Signalis". It had me hooked after I picked up a copy of "The King in Yellow" in-game
