Introducing: Quarantine Monster Shorts

I don't know if you've noticed, but 2020 has been kind of insane. Pandemic, murder hornets, coin shortages, and meth gators just to name a few have been flooding news sources and social media since March. A random conversation with my best friend about the water in the Great Lakes clearing because of decreased shipping started a project about a very important topic: 

What are monsters doing while the are humans locked up?

So, to help keep myself sane during the dumpster fire that is 2020, I have been trying to answer that question in a series of short stories. They range from funny to sad, ridiculous to bittersweet, covering a wide range of emotions that humans and monsters are feeling during these uncertain times. 

My end goal is to release an anthology of them but I thought it would be fun to share a few of them with you here on The Blank Page. The first one will be posted next Tuesday, August, 11th.

I have lucky 13 stories completed and have ideas for more so this project will keep me busy for a while. I'll let you know more about the anthology when I have a better idea of what I want it to look like.

Some of the monsters featured in the shorts:

Ghosts

Vampires

Big Foot

Witches

Nessy

and more...

I want to thank my friends in the Central Nebraska Writers Group who have been giving me feedback on my monster shorts for the last 6+ months and giving me more ideas to keep the stories going.
