Come to Rose City Comic Con to get copies of CORRIDOR and other horror stories!

I just read J.A.W. McCarthy - merch girl/succubi friend's "Contrition (1998)" this morning. When I finished, I closed the book and verbally said, "Yep. They knocked that out of the park." Really well done tale of the horrors we hide inside everyday and what would happen if we let them out.

Rafer's set up at SPX and has copies of CORRIDOR. Go find him in Bethesda!

One of my fave stories I've done (about an oddly haunted📼) is in this one⏩
