13 Days of Halloween:

 

Literary and Semi-Literary Horror-Fest

Each October 19, we begin a survey of (quasi-)literary horror. 

For 2022, I called for films which were “creatively original,” whether or not they were well known or well funded. I have also selected 13 frightening short stories to review. All are here and on our social media: @WaywordsStudio.  Enjoy the season!
