So since today one of the panels I’m moderating is about horror, I thought I’d give you a taste of my zombie story. This takes place on Christmas Eve, and is about a makeshift little family trying to keep some sense of normalcy while the undead stalk their hiding place. *** “Joy, joy, joy!” Andy … More Tidbit: Candles, from Lost in the Shadows
