The Spook Me collection is live. This year I did a poem and two stories. "The gift of the apple thief" was posted on Sunday and then there are these two. One called Lilac Mar (a sort of Turn of the Screw post-canon) from the Carmilla fandom [OG Vampire of Vampires, SUCK IT, STOKER!!!] and my BBC Sherlock Ice Road Trucker AU version of "The Empty House." (I am fairly certain that Sherlock & Jim becoming shapeshifting ghost crows is much more entertaining than what Gatiss & Co came up with).
