(#CoffinHop)

Welcome back! Are you having a beautifully bloody Coffin Hop? I certainly hope so. And I hope you left a comment on the post yesterday to enter my giveaway. Remember, you have the chance to win signed copies of my coming-of-age thriller "PINS" (18+) and my middle-grade spooky story "Play the Way Home (appropriate for all aka the antithesis of "PINS"). You can also win the ebook Collector's Edition of "Death By Drive-In," which is only being distributed during this blog hop.

Today, I'm giving you rockin hoppers a story that I originally wrote at 19 years old. Last year, I gave it much-needed revision, and it transformed from a Lovecraft rip-off called "Gainer's Beast" to this piece of the McHughniverse called "Collector." I hope you enjoy it! Don't forget to leave a comment with your email address and follow my author page at www.facebook.com/author.JessicaMcHugh.

    Getting in a little early morning Coffin Hopping, and am pleased to start off the day with this story. I knew darkness would abound when I read, "With the Devil's help she built Gainer's Pass and filled it with beauty and culture." *shiver!*

    'This time the trophy is you.' Love it, right up my alley - spooky, emotive, and sinks into your bones as you read!

    Very creepy little ditty. I love that the gore helps tell the tale, rather than tries to overpower it.
