New spooky story/picture alert! This one’s kinda It Follows meets a metaphor for personal development with a dash of body horror…
(Can’t seem to get it to show up full-size on the blog, but if you download then it’ll be in full readable resolution!)
Eyes
A horror artists Discord server I’m a part of — which is what’s been the impetus for most of my creative output this year so far — does semi-biweekly prompts. One recently was “SLEEPLESS,” so I made… whatever this is, capitalizing on my oddly specific (but, I think, reasonable) fear of things that shouldn’t have human eyes but do.
I like poetry, horror, and mysterious images… I think I’m getting the hang of combining them like this!
Something about a living baseball bat
So I’ve had this really creepy plastic baseball bat for years, from my grandparents’ old Halloween decorations collection… it looks neat, no doubt, but what’s its story, I wondered? I could probably just Google the punny name on its hilt (“Ghouliville Slugger”), but where’s the fun in that? I’d rather do what I do best: pop on some Photoshop and then essentially just write a lore entry for a nonexistent horror game!
“Christmas Inverse” – A Spooky Holiday Poem
Merry Christmas, all! Or whatever you may celebrate this time of year — it’s the presents and tree for me, though, so when I saw an upside-down tannenbaum at a local bar, I was inspired to tap into the Dickensian tradition and write an eerie poem about a backwards Christmas. What could possibly go wrong?

“End of the Line” – Creepypasta Reading
Happy Spring! Apologies for the dearth of O.C. ’round these parts as of late — what additional poems I’ve written have been for private parties, and what stories I’ve continued are either novel-length or best sent straight to a journal upon completion.
In the meantime, though, here’s a new reading of one of my old favorite creepypastas! It’s longer than the usual, so there’s a few hiccups in there (still getting sound editing down), but I hope you still enjoy it. Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe if so! Constructive criticism is always welcome either way.
Original story can be found here (author unknown).
