Welcome back, my fellow creatives! October is here, and with it the joy of reading tales deliciously eerie on chilly autumn evenings.
Let us break for a wee spell from the lovely indie fiction to venture down paths dark and mysterious. I’ve got some fun frights recommended to me by other neato book reviewers as well as some spooky stories by authors I’ve not had a chance to taste before. Let us continue with Hex by Thomas Olde Heuvelt.
What does a reader experience in those opening pages, and what lessons can a writer take away in studying but a few paragraphs? Let’s find out!
If you do not see the audio player above, you can access the podcast here.
Many thanks to Connie over at Seasons of Words for putting me on to this read! You can check out her kickin’ book review here.
Stay tuned–more sweet scares are on the way. x
Read on, share on, and write on, my friends!

Hi, Jean. Good tale. Yeah, it’s hard to believe that Halloween is almost here. The year is zooming by. Take care.

It really is, Neil! I need to see if you’ve been able to go on any walks this fall. Spotting any interesting foliage?

Lovely! It’s been a while since we’ve had a *dark* sky. The cloudy days here are often a kid’s scribbled silver. 🙂

The cover alone is truly terrifying! I love your passionate tirade against the spoiler blurb! 😁

Definitely in a spooky mood now. Need some spooky reading now, or maybe just watch the start to American Werewolf in London on repeat.

We just started the original Ghostbusters with the kids for the first time. They’ve seen lots of the cartoon, but never the whole original. They’ve been quite spooked! 🙂
