Sometimes, I'm Not So Scary

Thanks to Jameson T. Caine for the AlienSkin reminder; I'd forgotten my story, "Melons" was up this month. It features a recurring character of mine, Pete Archer, a hobo/magician of sorts who first appeared in "Catalog Sales" from Necrotic Tissue #4 (download for free). Pete shows up again in next year's edition of Champagne Shivers ("Lullaby, Little Monster"). What a rascal.

Anyway, "Melons" was inspired by a Japanese folktale. I love Japanese stories, full of magic and mystery and demons...
