Let's get back to Buckley, shall we?

It's time for some free fiction. Hooray! Halloween may be over, but there's always time for one more trick and one more treat before the sun sets on the holiday for another year.

In "Snakes and Ladders," Frances Healy is preparing to take her little girl out for a fun night of trick or treating. Of course it's safe. How could it be anything but for young Alice, when she has her heavily-armed mother and her ghost babysitter right there by her side? Unfortunately, some people have other plans for the holiday, and those plans aren't nearly as sweet as candy...

You can download the new story now from the InCryptid short fiction page.

I can't tell you how much I needed cheering up after a week of flu, and how much I adored this. Alice is certainly Fran's child - I think I hurt myself laughing.

"Snake cults, always snake cults". You mean like " At first we thought they were just another snake cult"? *dies*

Thank you, Seanan, this was a delightful treat.

Snake cults are a serious concern!

Alice is most definitely her mother's daughter.
