The Horror Cliché Crushing Collection

New Horror Cliché Crushing Editorial

  Because of the unexpected success of this entire editorial, I decided to write at least one more edition to the series.  The book is called Fifty Horror Clichés That Need To Burn In A Fire and it is available now.  Although I halved the content, the material for sure is at a polished high quality with much less rehashed material.  The reason for halving it was simple; after finishing it I am going into the short story writing genre for a while.  That way I can dip my toes into writing a full fledged storyline and can learn from any mistakes I make along the way before committing to a full length novel.  If you are reading this in the future and I do have a few short stories released, then you know I ended up staying committed after all.  If that is not the case, well there probably is another editorial about science fiction or teenage fiction out there now.

  Thank you so much for reading this editorial!  I do not know where I would be without you guys.  You are the reason this editorial has become so successful!
