As we head into fall, I'd like to share a short story I wrote around the villain in my WIP as she navigates the harvest festival in colonial India. It's called Boiling Point and is part of a free collection. Check it out! tinyurl.com/3dkpz5ya

Finally saw Crimson Peak to study story beats. Loved the stylization! but ultimately it was too predictable and needlessly violent. When does a work go from being an homage to being derivative? Gorgeous setting though! https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/crimson-peak-set-design-exclusive-video
