Hello, all --
It's been a minute since I chatted anyone up at Stokercon, but I finally got around to joining the forums.
Like most here, I am a writer of all things creepy and weird, although I am best known for my non-fiction, like the Dictionary of Demons. I've been reading (and loving) horror since I grabbed a collection of Poe's short stories off the library shelf as a second grader & had to prove to the school librarian I could read it by picking a random page (Cask of Amontillado. That was a mouthful at that age!)
I have been returning to the short form fiction of my early career, back when I edited the Gothic 'zine Shadowdance (1991-1996). The flash fiction contest provided a much-needed spark.
Looking forward to getting to know folks better.
