Monday is here again, and that means it’s time to share and show some love to the horror writers on Substack! It is nearly the end of November, and that means Christmas is around the corner (sorry Thanksgiving), which brings me to my question for all you horror fans out there:

What is your horror story wish list? If you could build out the horror section of your dream library, what would you want?
