All Hallow’s Read is here!
Stop 666 is a tale that will probably better received by adults – especially with the (ahem) opening bumper. It was partially inspired by a real crossroads in Virginia along Route 666. I took a picture of the stop stop sign, 3 deer ran across the road, and a story was born.
This tale is part of the annual tradition I started for myself to share a scary story for Neil Gaiman’s All Hallow’s Read. I use it as an opportunity to pen an original short story and perform it for the 9th Story and STRY Radio.
Part of the fun is that I write and finish it the week of and get it done just in time for Halloween. A Stitch in Time saves Nine.
This tale is dedicated to my friends Jonathan Kohn and Richard Starr, Jr., who will know why. It’s also for all of my fellow writers – published or not.
A very special gingery thanks to my very cool, friend, Nelson W. Pyles, for giving me permission to borrow his character Stitch and the fictional book Raising Demons for Dummies (Millenium Edition). You should pick up a copy of Demons, Dolls, and Milkshakes to read the work of someone who didn’t have to make a Crossroads Deal to get his work published.
Here’s where to pick it up:
