Hello Haint fans!
Not to fret, Monkey Soul is on the way. I’m hoping to get it done in time for Mother’s Day 2026. It may be late, but by mid-summer if not May. Meanwhile, I’ve just published the latest collection of short stories. This is truly a collection of misfits. As I’ve done before, each story has a note about its inspiration. And while all my stories are all my babies, I confess I hav

Whoo... just finished. What a wild rollercoaster this is! What I liked: I'm a Grady fan, foremost because he creates characters that you can relate to, even when they're flawed and make bad choices. Plot twists. There are several moments in this one ...more |

“The Velveteen Rabbit is not a compelling theoretical framework for the physical universe,” Louise said. “It’s a children’s story.” “So’s the Bible,” Mark said. “But you got people making laws and killing each other over it every day.”

Whoo-boy. Daly inspired Christie and who am I to say it's "meh" I ask myself. But it lost me. This plot is so all over the road I can't keep up and don't care to. Sometimes it's easy to suspend belief for a complex plot, but this one, I can't swallow ...more |

2nd of 2: I know it's odd to post video stuff on a BOOK page but I bet you'll like this too. An adaptation of M.R. James' Haunted Doll House. This one is memorably creepy and so well done!

Hi Jinx The Poet! I'm attaching links here to my favorite recorded story, "Smee" by Burrage. The visual is blinky and annoying, so don't watch it, just listen. The narrator's voice is grand and it has sound effects. Not scary but very atmospheric. Hope you like it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muJyi...
Hello J. Elliot, thanks for the friend request! Per your message/invite, I very much understand traversing and sometimes even falling down rabbit holes while reading. Reading’s an adventure that way. =) If you ever have any Victorian ghost stories to recommend, always feel free to send them my way. Very cool to meet you! =)Peace & happy reading, Jinx
