"Dear Dream Eater" horror series out now on Amazon Vella Shorts: https://a.co/hfO6kjD
To rectify, here are my favorite magical realism books, one a bit horror the other a bit fantasy, by Indigenous authors for more diverse book recommendations.

Feels weird to read The Bear during Indigenous People's Month. It was summarized as post-apocalyptic, but feels like that was just a bandaid to a story about a girl learning how to survive with the help of animals. But playing Horizon Zero Dawn while listening to the audiobook felt right.

Feel like I've been writing for hours, probably less than 1. Hands already cramping, out of practice...

What blogs do people read pretty regularly/passionately? I can identify podcasts I love and keep up with, but not blogs, personally.

They slowly surround me as my heart beats louder. They, black figures, tall and full of void. They are afraid to touch me, get near me. But closer they get anyway, a whole crowd, staring, waiting for me to do something. Me and the shadows, ghosts of night, slender cryptids of spacetime

The season of death coinciding with the death of my short stories published on Kindle's Velly's. Sounds about right. Check out Dear Dream Eater while you can. This winter will be the last of Velly hosting the stories.

Let the spooky come with the storm. Hurricanes bring in the cooler air so I can bury myself in sweaters.

Oh yeah, new episodes dropped for my Dear Dream Eater horror shorts. Where does the cryptid keep finding these letters?

The customization is what got me. You can morph every bit. Leveling up means gathering more cool shit to wear. My hair color #changes once a week, minimum. So I didn’t have a problem when my real hair started tinting in whatever direction I had that weekend. Saved me money on dye & bleach.

New short horror story at the blog! Peggy Sue's on Route 57.

"I counted to ten, took a deep breath, and grabbed the door. The face. *That* face appeared in the reflection and was gone.

‘I told you, leave me alone,’ I muttered, pulling the door open."

That was the test, the goal of the new student, to use their current methods of reaching beyond distraction to a larger truth that would string all their actions together in amicable harmony with the rhythms of the world. Or as the military elite crudely put it, manners and ethics.

Quite a novel experience for a ringmaster to have a desk with pen and paper but the only difference between a #raven and a desk and all that.” The tiny man took off his top hat with a flurry of black feathers coming out of it, dusting his shoulders and stage.

Someone called their feed a skyline and now I can't get out of my head how I should be contributing to their view. More pretty pics then.

I was bombarded with the pumping sounds of life. Every #pulse rocked my head. I could see the vibration of every note from the guitar, sway of the crowd. I could see these vibrations hitting each other, mingling. I could see the webs connecting, every movement making the webs quiver.

Dreaming of writing whole solo rpgs in journals, just to get into the flow and enjoy the process of imagining other worlds thru my words again...

Getting a zinnia bloom, one at a time. Forces me to appreciate the little things, bright spots within all the green

Another story uploaded to Vella! These feel like huge climbs and also small steps at the same time. But it's creating nice habits and bite size repetition of write, find what to change, Rewrite. Hope this makes the writing process more rhythmic.

She turned her back on me for the final time and limped down the steps, her box of goods carried in her arms. She took the steps slowly, making sure not to slip as the water coated the stairs. The next sheet of rain took her away from my sights and she had disappeared.
