Happy World Goth Day to my fellow children of the night! You are seen, cherished, and never alone in the dark.

I'm only one and a half chapters into this book (graciously sent to me by Josh Malerman -- thanks, dude!) and I can already tell this is going to not only be one I'll be rereading often, but that it's also going to be a game-changer for any creative who reads it! I'm smitten!
