(The following excerpt is from chapter 10. It's just a bit of back-and-forth dialogue, but I rather like it.) *** “Bostwiiick!” Delilah shrieked. The queen
Delicious dialogue, full of witty banter and magic by @rosecorcoranwrites ! I enjoyed reading it so much, and I hope you’ll enjoy it too - only be warned, you’ll want to read the entire book as soon as you’re done.
It's, like, my triumphant return to vlogging?
Today, I rant about The Maid, by Canadian editor/author Nita Prose. Featuring misleading blurbs, grating narration, one-dimensional characters, "heartwarming" murder, and all the "likes" that I've been saving up since last video!

What is This Nameless Fear
What is this nameless fear, this dread, that holds me in waking paralysis? An incubus lurking in my shadow, a nightmare just out of sight, it seems to whisper of a coming calamity: societal insanity raining down inane judgements on my head. Some unknown jury and executioner sharpen their knives and axes, licking blood off their teeth in expectation of tasting my own. If I stay silent, I will drown, drawn under into their current, always wary of being hooked, netted, harpooned and pulled forth, writhing. If I speak, and do not lie, then I will burn in the pyre of their eyes, their screams, their calumnies. And if I lie—No. I will not lie. And so, I choose to burn, in blinding flames that cast out the darkness in their minds. If this dread is my doom, then I will turn to face it, name it, and fear no more.
