“Just Smile” in Doorways in the Gloom
“Just Smile” is one of a handful of yokai stories I’ve written, generally during Drawlloween (an October art challenge that I use for writing prompts). I really love the different types of monsters that different cultures develop, because it gives a bit of insight into that culture’s fears that people might not otherwise talk about.
“Just Smile” was originally published in The Dread Machine, but it’s also available as part of Doorways in the Gloom, along with a bunch of other horror and dark contemporary fantasy stories and poetry!
