Sometimes I say "the poem speaks for itself" and what I really mean is like one of those possessed puppets in a horror film.

The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.

Great paranormal mystery! The Haunting of Room 904 by @erikatwurth.bsky.social
Full of rich culture and history. A story of family and friends and ghosts and secrets. That ending was epic.

As usual, @thelincoln.bsky.social has written something that I can't help but nod along with the entire way. As I've told my poetry students even, form should match the content. open.substack.com/pub/counterc...

Yay! So glad you enjoyed & hope you enjoy 904

I finished White Horse last week.
Greatly enjoyed the story from start to finish.
Wonderfully creepy, with strong characters, heavy metal, whisky, and a great finale.
Gonna have to start the next book very soon.
Hey bloggers! I'm an indigenous horror novelist, my first novel was WHITE HORSE (NYT editors & GMA buzz pick. IndieNext. Target & BOTM). Would anyone like to interview me for my new novel, THE HAUNTING of ROOM 904?
