In fact, this was a story that I wasn’t entirely sure if I should classify […]

“The Gift” began as an attempt to write a non-Halloween story during Drawlloween and instead coming up with a winter holiday story. The prompt was the goblin market, so I came up with a single dad needing to get a gift for his young daughter, but paying for it in an unusual (not scary!) way. […]

And while that’s a very broad group of legendary creatures, they were an […]
