Tomorrow. It’s tomorrow. The release of Hannah and Other Stories! It’s tomorrow. YEEEEAGH!

I’m sorry, I’m a little excited. Can you tell?

So, as you know, Hannah and Other Stories will be releasing tomorrow, September 23rd. And for the past several weeks, I’ve been doing the #FirstLineFriday tag to help get people interested in the collection. If you’re unfamiliar with the rules of #FirstLineFriday, here they are:

1. Create a post on your blog titled #FirstLineFriday, hashtag and all.
2. Explain the rules like I’m doing now.
3. Post the first one or two lines of a potential story, a story-in-progress, or a completed/published story.
4. Ask your readers for feedback and try to get them to try #FirstLineFriday on their own blogs (tagging is encouraged but not necessary).

Today’s opening comes from What Errour Awoke, a cosmic horror tale with some British literature mixed in. Enjoy:

            “Now today class, we’ll be starting our unit on Edmund Spenser’s Faerie Queene.” Taylor wrote Faerie Queene in cursive on the whiteboard and turned back to the class. “You may recognize some stuff from our unit on Arthurian literature, as Arthur and a few other knights show up in this book. At the same time though, it’s not about Arthur or chivalry.”

Technically, this is three lines. But who cares? It’s my blog, I’ll do as I please. Anyway, how does this college class lead to a cosmic horror story? You can find out when Hannah and Other Stories releases tomorrow. And if you like what you read, please leave a review online so I know what you think.

And if you want to do this tag yourself, consider yourself tagged. Just copy and paste the rules and go to town on your own blog.

Well, that’s one more down. And one more to do next week, after the book is out. I hope you’re as excited as I am for Hannah to release. Until next time, my Followers of Fear, good night and pleasant nightmares.
