Update
It’s ADHD Awareness Month—read my ADHD journey. And, please enjoy my thesis on why Anne of Green Gables had ADHD, too. If you or someone you know had (or you suspect has) ADHD, these books might help!
But also, sPoOkY season is upon us! It’s my favorite time of year, and on the FANTASY+GIRLS Podcast, we celebrated with a miniseries focused on female-driven horror: Not Your Scream Queen. Tune in for hot takes on films including Jennifer’s Body, He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not, Ma, The Babadook (featuring guest host Erica Waters, author of Ghost Wood Song), and A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night.
If your 2020 needs something wholesome, read about this sheep running joyfully awok in its neighborhood. But don’t get near the crows, they’re self-aware. Have you been visited by the Halloween Moose?

Hoard subscribers got asneak peek at the story in August … join us and read it here!
