NEW SHORT STORY ONLINE: Hallow Part 3 - Nocturnus

In my quest to put up a new short story for each month of the year, I've finally uploaded August's tale.

The third part of the Hallow series of short stories is now online, it's just a few clicks away and free.


Our main characters find themselves in a predicament after a Halloween party comes to an abrupt and unusual end.

Time is running out for the Eleanor, Zach and Jerome, and the dreaded DarkMoon festival is nearing. Questions will be answered and others posed, but the mystery of New Eden's newest arrivals will soon come to a close.


Sounds like a bunch of stuff someone just made up right?


Right! Because i just did!



 So please feel free to check out the new short story, or delve into it from the beginning if you have no idea what I'm talking about!




Thanks!

Matt

Short Tales Explained: Lady of the Snow (February's Tale)

The title of this short tale was inspired by a song by American band Symphony X. I wrote it in a few sessions, spread out over a few weeks. I've always liked female monsters/villains. Be it Medusa, the many wicked witches, queens and stepmothers in fairytales, Zenobia from the old Sinbad movies I used to watch as a kid (she scared the crap out of me) and even that screwed up cyborg-lady from Superman 3 (gave me nightmares for years).

In this tale, the Lady of the Snow is not necessarily a bad person, but just someone who is cursed to be alone forever. Anything she touches will freeze and die, and she is doomed to wonder the forests of New Eden, searching for love until the end of her days.
