Happy post-Halloween hangover! I hope everyone had a spooktacular Halloween season. This was kind of a weird one for me -- much more laidback than usual. We did the bulk of our celebrating at home, although we did manage to make it out to a Cinespia screening of Bram Stoker's Dracula at the lavish Los Angeles Theatre downtown and visit a very cool and atmospheric speakeasy-style distillery called The Obscure, among a few other outings.
One of the advantages of spending so much time at home was that I've been able to write a lot more than usual this year. Here are a couple of my recently published pieces:
- Halloween Haunts: October Baby for Horror Writers Association (personal essay)
- Some Say Sirens (poem) & Automaton (microfiction) for Tiny Frights Vol.1 No.2
I also decided to write 100 haiku inspired by 100 of my favorite horror movies, posting two per day to my Twitter!
