Thanks, Gabino! ON COMICS AND GRIEF combines an exploration with the comics of 1976 with creative nonfiction about my mother and her death. It’s fragmented and experimental, and the reader is asked to make connections as they read.

FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL DIRECTOR (by me, as Hazel Graves, Harper) is currently 99p in ebook!
It's a wild ride of a romcom about a funeral parlour and a bridal parlour that undergo a switcheroo...and the poor couple who have to clean up the mess. 🎂 🖤 🪦 💍

Got this picture of my youngest playing in a tree.
But seriously, if the horror you're reading doesn't have a mysterious, maybe alive, stained glass window in it, what are you even reading?
