August is on a deathbed and the Ladies of Horror are happy to escort her out with flash fiction on Nina D’Arcangela’s Spreading the Writer’s Word blog.

The Ladies of Horror are a diverse group of women dedicated to writing darker things. Each month we write a story or poem based on a photo Nina sends us. We do it for practice, to share ideas… and because this is how we play.
