A dark and stormy Friday 13th is a perfect time to jump into Scarlet Hollow if you haven't already.
The second half of the latest episode is coming next week and I need time to go much faster than it currently is so I can see what happens.

I was counting on my Kickstarter money to help pay my rent this month, but it’s delayed. And that means I’m behind on rent.
