Now that that’s out of the way, I’d like to take a moment to talk about one of the short stories exclusive to my mailing list. Specifically, I’d like to elaborate on “A Good Story,” which is the short story that goes out to everyone who signs up for my mailing list. If you haven’t signed up, get on it! Come back only after having read the story that comes with it!
Back now?
Well, if you haven’t read it yet, that’s all right. I’ll keep this spoiler-free. “A Good Story” is based on a story I wrote many, many years ago that pulled me into the idea of becoming an author. In the original story, a boy is pulled into a world hidden inside an old book. Unfortunately I lost the original manuscript years ago, and now only the idea remains in my head. Given that this story started as a writing prompt for a middle school class, I had to amp up the horror element a little, and decided to throw a little ambiguity into the narrative. Both stories can be summarized with the expression, “a good story pulls you in.” If you have read the “A Good Story,” I hope it succeeded!
As always, stay scary my friends!
