If you like dark moody fantasy stories with necromancy, and skeletons then you’ll probably like my short story The Red Shoes, which I’m so excited to have published in @awwlitmag.bsky.social Into the Dark Anthology!

I was listening to History Hits, “The Ancients” podcast about #Myths. They mentioned one called “the devil and the smith” and I wonder if the Andersen’s “The Red Shoes” story is a variation of it 🤔

You can find my own original version The Red Shoes in @awwlitmag.bsky.social dark fantasy anthology.

A snip from my short, "The First Woman of the Qingyan Sect," in the @awwlitmag.bsky.social Into the Dark anthology 🖤 10 days left to get kickstarter rewards, such as digital/hard copy issues, stickers, bookmarks, digital art, and more! www.kickstarter.com/projects/all...

Snippet from "The First Woman of the Qingyan Sect" by Chezza Lee in the All Worlds Wayfarer Into the Dark anthology: "We were taught to protect this town from the forces that lived in the shadows. As I grew, the memories of blood, the iron-lashed stench of death, lessened in intensity. I reiterated Shifu’s words so often, they became my own personal mantra. Fight evil. Save the innocent. But it wasn’t until I descended the mountain that I realized my choices would never be that simple."

Okay, I just read that when polled 74% of American parents admitted to stealing some of their children's Halloween candy. And I am shocked--SHOCKED!--the number is so low.
