One of my long-standing hobbies is going to estate sales, where I found this folk horror fairy chair. I keep it in my writing room.

The Amish think that taking a photograph captures your soul, at least they do where I grew up. If that’s true, then, I can say that this one captures my soul and sure makes me wish that I was at a dive bar. My soul is a dive bar? I’m fine with that.

I talk about growing up in a small Amish town in Iowa (with a touch of folk horror thrown in for good measure) in my new Substack. Link below!
