What’s in the box? Something strange and macabre… Maybe the question should be, ‘what do you do if you find a box big enough to hold a body?’ The answer? Why, you get inside it, of course!

Here’s a reading from Diabolical Dreamscapes: Strange and macabre short stories. If you’re reading this post, watching my video, or if you’re even weirder and have read my book, Diabolical Dreamscapes, then you must be a strange and macabre kind of person. If you are, then hurray! We’re kindred spirits. I am definitely a strange and macabre kind of person; I’m a horror author, first of all, and second of all, I’m the kind of person who would get inside a coffin-sized box in a secluded alleyway, lol.

Well, they say there is a fine line between creativity and insanity, and maybe there’s some truth to that. This is my dose of creativity and craziness to kick off the weekend… and infect you with my little slice of feverish insanity too, ha ha!
