Description:
#Audio. #Halloween A collection of five short-short stories for the season. Read by the Bathtub Mermaid and Friends.
Excerpt:
I reach around him and grab the bottle from his far hand, then take a swig. “Not bad,” I said. “Tastes like a ninety-nine… maybe a two thousand. Virgin?”
“Virgin,” he confirms. “Two thousand. Carpathian blend. Shall I heat it for you?
“Please.” I go to the couch and wrap a cotton throw around my legs. He joins me a few minutes later, handing me my favorite mug – a smiley-face with fangs – full of steaming liquid. For himself, he’s got scrambled eggs and a hamburger patty. He says protein is essential.

Each segment is different and eerie, amusing, loving, and sensual
This was so fun! It was a perfect little Halloween listen. Every single one of the stories was excellent and so creative! I had trouble hearing some of them because the music would overshadow the narrator, but I just cranked up the volume! Thank you!
