So once upon a time, years and years and YEARS ago, I wrote a short story called “The Forbidden Grand.” It was published in Deadman’s Tome and I eventually forgot about it. Well, that’s not true. I remembered it but it was a really new story from a young writer and it wasn’t that great, to be honest. So. Ahem. … Read More
