I, too, bought the book on the strength of this review.
I just want to thank everyone who hated this book for giving me so many review quotes I can use to advertise it.

I always make a point of sharing the Storybundles that I'm a part of, but I often forget to share the other great ones. The Pride Bundle is always great and throw in $$ for Rainbow Road, an NGO that helps LGBTQ+ people escape state-sponsored persecution & violence worldwide. Head on over!

It’s World Dracula Day! Is this my chance to go “hey, I’ve written vampire stories!” Or maybe not because imposter syndrome sets in.
Instead I think I’ll rewatch Renfield and play with the dogs ;)

Sinners was even better the second time around. I have to wonder though why people paid to see a movie then played on their phones the whole time!

An escalator can never break, it can only become stairs.
Everyone has one Mitch Hedberg joke stashed in their brain like a squirrel to sustain them whenever they need to feel joy for 30 seconds and mine is “they say the recipe for Sprite is Lemon and Lime but I tried to make it at home, there’s more to it than that”

RIP Norwegian writer/theatre director Henrik Ibsen, died this day 1906.
“A thousand words leave not the same deep impression as does a single deed.”
“To live is to war with trolls.”
“You should never wear your best trousers when you go out to fight for freedom and truth.”
