“In the countryside in the middle of nowhere, no one can hear your screams!”
Steven Magee

Damon  Thomas
“On a walk down a remote 13th street I discovered a group of young teens with bell, book, and candle engaged in some manner of witchery. As I approached they fell silent. Apparently the possibility of a successful summoning was more terrifying than the reality of being a bored teen in rural Florida.”
Damon Thomas, Some Books Are Not For Sale
