Dear Friends,

You are all kindly invited to the Fish Gather to Listen Launch Party! It will feature a quick teaser of all the tales in the compilation, including my own horror short story, “Cirrata.”

I truly hope you can make it.

K.


Dive down with hands and feet

to find the stories buried deep.

Noodling for the next adrenaline rush,

the swampy surface out of touch,

wrap your legs around a tail (or tale) and

prepare for a wild thrashing.

A collection of creatures lurk in the mud.

Stolid eyes that never sleep.

To hear the ‘lore that you’ve been missing,

be like the fish,

gather to listen.

    1. Thank you, Tom. Yes, it was a blind reading for the collection, which I think made the selection feel even more rewarding. 🙂
