    [Short Story Review] Close To You: A Downside Ghosts Holiday Story By Stacia Kane & Zombie Java Eggnog Blend

    Close To You is such an odd combination of creepy and sweet that somehow manages to really work. Chess and Terrible are hunting for auto parts in an old auto graveyard when they come face to face with a creepy/crazy old women with some decidedly macabre holiday plans of her own. At its heart, this is a holiday love story - albeit a love story with murderous ghosts, but still kind of touching in a weird way.

    [Novella Review] Mine To Tarnish By Janeal Falor & Independence Coffee Company Founder’s Pride

    In Chardonia, women are possessions and male warlocks use hexes, spells, and the threat of being tarnished (magically made to be bald, tattooed, and unable to have children) to keep them under their thumbs. Katherine is bold and self-sufficient – far different from what Chardonian society claims people become when they are tarnished, worth less than the shadow they cast.
