It was a lot of fun when they did this. There's a new anthology in the works, too.
I love how it spans from just a bit weird to hard Sci fi to horror. The Twilight Zone can be anything.

Oh hey, so I guess I kinda wrote a lil novella?
I wrote a book! My debut novella goes on pre-sale Jan 22.
If youβre a fan of the 90s, Buffy, unlikely superheroes, and found family, this novella could be for you. Itβs a fun book.

πThe more reviews a book has, the more social proof it has.
π More and more people wait to see if something has reviews before buying.
πEven one line can make a huge difference.
Help a girl out! If you've read any of my books, please stick a review up.

Is he just a crazy person with a chainsaw?
Ah, I like horror that follows a system, like revenge in The Fog, or an evil spirit wanting something in particular.
I'm not sure if I've seen The Witch. I think I saw something about medieval witch hunters featuring Sean Bean. That was good.
