A bunch of older issues of FF have suddenly seen some downloads this week, so time to dust off my intentions to steal a game from @smallwondersmag.com and yell about some great stories in the FF archive.
You give me a word.
I give you a story.
Alt: it's that creepy doll from Saw with the text "Shall we play a game?"
I'm super excited to announce that the LSQ story archive is back!
You can access it through Patreon (current issues, exclusive posts, and more) or Payhip (archive-only). All the details: www.patreon.com/post...

I asked a horror writer whose work I love how sheās able to write horror novels, because, while I love the genre, I canāt do it. Iāve written two horror SHORT stories (āOn the Roadā and āDark Homeā) and scared the hell out of myself.
Her response was simple: āI donāt believe any of it.ā
Shit. š¬
