    Hi Erica!

    Thanks so much for featuring our Magic Wand Pencils! Sadly they've all sold out (they're super popular!) and they will never be made again. But we will be doing a tutorial soon on how you can make your very own, so keep your eyes open for that 🙂

    Have a great Christmas x

    Those nibs were lovely! Also, I love that bookish necklace especially as well. You can't really go wrong with scented candles and me, especially bookish scented candles.

Max is one of the most hilarious people that I fol Max is one of the most hilarious people that I follow on Twitter! I originally learned who he was after seeing him participate in the KillerCon 2020 Virtual Event. I went to follow him and his publishing house, Perpetual Motion Machine (that he runs with Lori Michelle), immediately after his reading.

Within the PMM publishing house, they also have the imprint, Ghoulish Books, which launched in January of 2022. Max’s latest book, Maggots Screaming!, launched today April 12th, 2022 from that imprint. In celebration, I’m so excited to be sharing this interview with Max!

In the foreword, the author warns that this is a book of fears, and boy does he play on fears wonderfully! Each tale is presented to readers in the first person to really get readers in the characters shoes. Please use caution here when you dive in. The author does not shy away from the darkness.

Phew, this read will take readers on quite the journey! It was the perfect read for a dark and rainy spring weekend.
