Haunted Hotel: Hungry by Clarissa West

Welcome to day FOUR of the Haunted Hotel Writer and Illustrator showcase! You can find a list of all participants here. Come back each day, the entire month of October for a scare! Today's story comes from the deepest corners and shadows of the Thornewood...the basement!     It’s the smell that gets to you first. It burns the inside of the nostrils a bit going in, and settles its rancidness on the inside and you think it’ll get into your blood and you’ll never get it off again.

Harrowed Is Out!

Today is a very special day for us. Several months ago, Brian and I decided that we wanted to write a book together. Today, that book is being released into the world, and we could not be more excited and proud and just really happy to finally share it with everyone. HARROWED is a love letter to the '80s and early '90s horror movies that we grew up watching, and the music that provided the soundtrack to them as well. From Friday the 13th, Halloween, and Scream to Tesla, Def Leppard, and AC/DC, this book is full of references to that wonderful era of slashers an[...]
