More stories to come.
Hi, I wonder if you could do a larger summary for the stories that are crossovers.
ReplyDeleteThe idea of Supernatural and the world of H.P. Lovecraft are a bit to much for me at this moment, and I'm just reading the White Collar stories.
Thank you, be well, Monica
I have longer summaries for the Crossed Lines and Arkham Files stories in two posts: The Road So Far (for Crossed Lines) and Inside the Arkham Files Vault. There are links to both posts on the pages for the two series on this blog. Both series are more fantasy-oriented than horror, since I'm squeamish when it comes to blood, but I certainly appreciate you might not want to be read anything about supernatural villains. Although I sometimes refer to what happens in the crossovers in my Caffrey Conversation stories, I try to provide enough information so you don't feel it's necessary to read the crossovers. Please feel free to write me if you ever find anything that's confusing. If you decide you'd like to try any of the crossover stories, I'll be happy to give you an advance warning of which scenes you may wish to avoid and provide summaries for them.
DeleteHenry has been a fun recent addition to Arkham Files. He claims the stories are very family-oriented, and the few scary bits can be easily summarized so they don't have to be read.
Thanks for writing!
