August 20, 2015 at 3:29pmSo I’m told lol…
That story was actually based on a nightmare I had as a kid. I swear to this day I saw a witch in the window. Although I didn’t kill my parents after…

Marian Allen
December 28, 2011 at 5:57pm~blush~ Thanks, buddy. That means a lot to me. You guys were great! I still have the interview I did of you. 🙂

November 28, 2011 at 1:39pmHi Marian. Very nice! I blog myself with occasional samples — I call them “lagniappes” — of stories (usually linked, like yours are) or poems just copied into the text, but nothing of this magnitude. Thanks for sharing on the Short Mystery site. (I’m a dark fantasy/horror writer myself, short stories and poetry, with occasional forays into mystery and science fiction. A couple of collections, the latest a book of vampire poetry, plus individual pubs from Alfred Hitchcock’s to Xenophilia and The Yellow Bat Review.)
Marian Allen
November 28, 2011 at 3:19pmJames, my #1 grandson loves horror, though he’s a Lovecraftian Mythos and Zombie man, rather than vampire.
Thank you so much for dropping by and commenting! Always proud to meet a fellow southern Hoosier. 🙂
