The Welcome to this edition of Nightmare Fuel Meetsex.

For anyone confused right now and thinking, what the hell is this?

Why is this showing up on my time suck feed?

Let me explain.

Last February,

I began writing short fictional horror stories and releasing two a month on the scared-to-death feed, the first Friday and the third Friday, essentially the Fridays I'm not releasing

short sucks here. I actually wanted to be an author, specifically a horror author, long before

I ever wanted to be a stand-up

comic, way before podcasting. But it felt so daunting to try and figure out where to begin. Much harder than

just showing up at an open mic, putting my name on the list, and getting five minutes to talk some shit.

Anyway, I've been talking to Lindsay about writing a horror novel since we very first started to date.

And while I still haven't written a book, I have now written a lot of stories I do plan to publish someday one way or another.

Until then, until I have time, I thought a few years ago, with Lindsay's encouragement,

why not just write them?

Not worry about trying to get a book deal.

And then release them to a fan base over on Scared to Death that already enjoys stories, me, and horror. What a perfect test audience.

And also with Logan getting so good at scoring episodes of Scared to Death, why not score them even more immersively like the audio version of a horror movie.

I didn't know if anyone would be interested, but I wanted to try it.

And it worked.

It's worked better than I ever hoped it would.

Over the last 20 months, these stories have gotten more positive feedback than anything else I've been doing,

and I absolutely love writing them.
