Greetings all! This week’s episode is about uncanny horror. As I mentioned in the introduction, be sure to check out the live stream I co-hosted with Indie Ink Fund and remember you can donate to Maryellen Brady 💗📚 at this link here.
And, don’t forget to check out the recording of my LIVE Poetry reading for October with co-host Stefan Pasek. Find that link here.
And last but not least, shout out to Johanna C. Eschwald, Ariadne Pautina, and Graeme Brandham, who invited me to a Discord chat earlier in Johanna’s writer’s retreat server. These are all amazing people and writers, so please check out their stuff!
