Tales of Verkath, my ongoing horror/dark fantasy short story collection, continues today. This is a rough draft. (It's also a backdated entry - this story fragment was written on August 4th, and posted on August 6)

( No adult or NSFW material in this installment, but cutting for length anyway. )

I decided to write my second short story in the anthology "Tales of Verkath." This one also features Baliluri, but is set several years before the events of the first story.

( WARNING: The following story contains self-injury that will probably be especially disturbing to women. Reader discretion is advised. )

Part 1 of this 2-part story can be found here. I wrote it for last year's August Writing, on August 5, 2008. I'm very happy to have completed the story today.

There is a not-safe-for-work drawing of what a Verkathian woman looks like here. It was my NaArMaMo art piece for that same day last year.

( WARNING: The following story contains Body Horror and bloody, graphic violence. Reader discretion is advised. )

Well, I still haven't finished that poem from yesterday. (Granted, it feels like it could be complete as it is, but I do have a bit more to say on that subject.) I was in a somewhat darker mood today, so I started writing a dark short story. I don't have time to finish it at the moment, but I will.
