I included a chunk of my fiction in our game's book, in the section called "Other Yellow Ironies." I was very much inspired by Ligotti's "Gothic Tales" as well as the Carcosa mythos. Here are a couple!

I am very excited to have penned a little thing about Salomé's hideous botany, as part of a series of vignettes.
By the way, who else is going to this thing?
Oh, I'm also writing a story about having a thousand limbs but only wanting the ones crushed, which impede my job as a chandelier.
