So, Composting a Human Body Is Now a Thing?

A few years ago I wrote my first novella, Die, Blossom, Bloom. In it I had this crazy notion that the poor protagonist had a secret to keep, and the secret was that he killed his wife. Not that killing his wife was particularly unusual, but I had this idea that because his wife was …

Serial Saturday [Horror] – Nancy, Please #8

Serial Saturday [Horror] – Nancy Please, #7
