don't tell mom the babysitter's dead

[intertribal]

Innsmouth Free Press released their Multi-Ethnic Issue today (Lovecraftian stories set outside typical milieus, with non-typical casts), and my story, "Red Goat, Black Goat" is included.  Hence the Uxia icon!  The story's a variation of the old "babysitter horror" trope, except in Indonesia, where things are a little different.

So you know, have a read if you are so inclined. 

(Look, my name's on the cover along with people who are way more famous and awesome than I!)

Pretty dang scary story you wrote there! That's primal scary stuff--haven't been scared like that since I was nine and terrified of the salt monster on Star Trek. The choking on the goat hair was the most scary part.

Also, this type of story fuels that feverish need to plan for the contingency where you're called to babysit for kids in a house with a Goat Nurse in it. How can I not make the same mistakes Kris did. Oh wait. She didn't really make any mistakes .... Auuggggghhhhhhhh!

OH YAY I'M SO GLAD YOU WERE SCARED :D :D Remember: don't leave your kids in a house with a Goat Nurse in it. Moral of the story, parents.

Thanks for reading!
