Re: Haunted Houses

> And then I thought I'd be even more cringe and pay $10 to blaze the post. I'll report back on how this works out. I don't have high hopes, but you never know.

I guess technically the post is still "blazed" until noon today, but it I'm going to call it at 71 notes, most of which were received during Tumblr primetime between 5-8pm East Coast time. That's not bad, and it's far more than I expected for something that would have had very little inorganic growth to begin with.

Maybe it's cringe to promote your own work, but honestly, what's the harm in showing people the beautiful cover art along with a link to a free zine. Haters gonna hate.

Damn. It has been a week. To distract ourselves, my husband and I went to Halloween Nights at Eastern State Penitentiary, which includes five haunted houses and half a dozen open-air bars and beer gardens. The haunted houses are extremely creative and disturbing, and the (local art school student) performers genuinely seem to be enjoying themselves. Despite the horrors, there’s always a very chill and positive energy to the event. You wouldn’t think this would be kid-friendly – like I said, it’s extremely gruesome – but a lot of people bring their kids, and it’s all good vibes all the way down.
