“A Modern Mary Shelley” in Doorways in the Gloom
My story “A Modern Mary Shelley” was from a Drawlloween prompt of the author’s name. In this case, I wrote a second-person story from the perspective of a student entranced by the odd girl in their class, discovering more and more about her until the final conclusion.
One of my favorite lines from this story: “She only posts beautiful things, but if you dig a little farther, you realize they’re both beautiful and morbid–skulls and bones and decay, carefully arranged into something lovely.”
You can read “A Modern Mary Shelley” online at Burial Day Books, or as part of Doorways in the Gloom!
