Dear reader,

I’m afraid I don’t have a story for you today. They’ll resume as usual next week, but I wanted to post something slightly more substantial for Halloween. Thus, today I bring you, instead, A Hollow Shape, a fully-formatted book of original, previously unpublished writing and photography – 1 prose poem, 40 haikus, and 41 black-and-white images. Although I didn’t orginally compose it with the season in mind, there are enough dark shadows and morbid turns of phrase to make it, I think, more than appropriate reading for this time of year. Here are a couple sample pages:

The complete book is below the paywall – if you want to read it and you’re not already subscribed, it’s only $5. You can cancel the subscription after you download it, if you want; I won’t hold it against you. Of course, that means missing out on the 2 or 3 subscriber exclusive stories I post every month, but it’s your choice. Either way, Happy Halloween. Link below:
