Lots of new faces around here after the last couple weeks & pitch events- hey friends!
To introduce myself, I’m Gus, and I write mostly sci-fi mashed up with fantasy along with some horror. I also like to share a cocktail recipe every now and then.
Good to meet ya!

It’s been fun, but I’m winding down on #QuestPit. Sincere thanks all who supported me, and I’m simply in awe of all these amazing stories.
And so, cheers to the writers!

The ritual was a success! And here we are in the mortal realm, just in time to disperse our sugary sacrament. You have learned much, class.
A most spooky and happy Halloween to both mortals and fiends, from my class and me, to you!

Yes, that’s it, class! Channel your spooky essence into the mystical stone. Let it flow through your pentagram of corn syrup and Red No. 40. Feel the Hallow draw near!
What? Of course you can’t play a kazoo instead of chanting. You don’t even have one!

All right class, the big night draws nigh. Few tasks remain before your final test, and few as important as carving your own Jack ‘o Lanterns.
Pick a face to reflect your inner ghoul, and rend it from the gourd!

After four days of darkness, we heard a rumble as our prison door was unblocked. A crack of light split the inky atmosphere. I lowered the book I’d been reading to class.
A skeletal silhouette stood in the closet doorway. Tiny Tibby had returned.

Ah ha! After a grueling trek through the desert, enduring sandy joints, and having to slum it in *shudder* 3-star hotels, I finally found it: a Stone of Power.
