I love this. It's like if the apocalypse came to Charm School. :D

Got this horror antho just to read "Pensacola Mermaid Tank", by Amelia Mangan.

Excellent. :D

Blue Highway, by Amelia Mangan, Yen Short Story Winner, 2013. I'm late in the game of finally reading Amelia's stuff. She knew of my Charm School, I didn't yet know of her horror and short story writing. I really enjoy her way with words and her voices, (now that I've read three of her works). Am looking for more of her stuff, especially for the occasion of October. ^v^
