This collection will include a series of new and old poems I am writing and revising for use as a concept album art booklet I'll include in my Tracing Trickster Trails multigenre autobiography, and I do plan to record some or all of them as musical tracks eventually. The poems will appear here in the order I write or revise them - not the order intended for the autobiography or the album. Suggestions for arrangement once the collection includes a substantial set (let's call that 8 or more... I'm planning for a set of 15-20) will be much appreciated! Before I close, I'd like to acknowledge some of the storytellers who have influenced my love of horror & poetry in general, and this piece in particular in no meaningful order, as I'm... drafting while distracted. Stephen King, Anne Sexton, Anne Bradstreet, Neil Gaiman, Edgar Allen Poe, Bram Stoker, the teams who brought Jordan Peele's Get Out, various versions of Shirley Jackson's Haunting of Hill House to life on film & television (as I have yet to read the novel myself), Takashi Miike, Yoshitaka Amano, Joss Whedon. The list goes on and on, but these are some of the most recent and present in the early works posted here. Comedians and musicians who serve as my muses deserve acknowledgement here as well, but space is too limited for a comprehensive list, so briefly: Michael Jackson's Thriller, one of the first I ever watched, had a profound impact. Classical, hip hop, rock, folk & metal - among other genres - all soothe my soul. Special thank yous to Christopher Opyr, who not only counts among folks who have influenced my love of horror & poetry but has also been one of the strongest, most constant supporters of my writing & recovery; my parents, who fostered my love of language & storytelling for as long as I can remember; my grandmother, who hopefully will not regret introducing me to the occult; my husband, who does his best to support my haunting, haunted ass. Comments welcome; constructive criticism preferred.

Released! 12/12/24 ------------------------- A mysterious online blogger, who exclusively writes about the history and encounters of witchcraft, and claims to be a witch themself, is revealed to have a traumatic history. Maybe the blogs written by '0_Zero_0' aren't as crazy as people think they are? Who are they? What dark past still haunts them today? This story is the second entry into a multi-layered saga, and will be a bit longer than the first story. If you haven't already, be sure to check out the first entry; 'The Spirit Rings' if you like, as there will be some references to it that will more sense when you see it. For context, the first 2 parts of this story will be slightly different to parts 3 and 4, as you will be guided by Zero through his memories, furthermore, any speech in parts 1 and 2 will also be in a memory, not in the real world. (this will make sense as you read to the end) Blog posts are in italics to show that they are not part of his memory. From the 3rd part onwards, it will be formatted in a more standard way, as I am just experimenting with different methods of writing. //TL;DR for parts 1 and 2\\ Plain body text = 3rd person narration (normal reading style) Bold body text = 1st person (Zero reciting his memories to someone) Italics = Blog post (contextual pause to summarise/preview events) Any speech is happening as part of Zero's memory, as he is recalling the events Follow me to keep updated on all my stories, and be a part of the founders for my future novel which will take place in the same universe as all these stories on Wattpad :)
