I hope you've been enjoying the new chapters in the Teenage Robot story. I know you’re anxious for Tuck to take the stage, but he’s being a little stinker as usual. I’m going to need another week to coax him to perform. 

In the meantime, there’s another story of mine out there – The Horrible Bag of Terrible Things. I think that fans of my work will find it worth their time. It follows a pair of siblings as they enter another world populated by all manner of bizarre and menacing creatures. Their encounters are by turn spooky and humorous. 

In the opening chapters, mischievous eleven-year-old Zenith Maelstrom brings a mysterious bag into his home and accidentally unleashes a repulsive hairball-spider creature. It lacks a head, but has nine spindly legs and tangled hair coated in black, viscous goo. Zenith briefly recaptures it by dropping the bag on top of the beast. But it escapes and skitters away inside the overturned bag just as Zenith’s protective and suspicious older sister, Apogee, comes to investigate. Zenith eventually evades Apogee’s watchful eye and retreats to his bedroom to regroup before resuming his search for the terrible thing. Read what happens next in Chapter 5, reprinted below in its entirety. 

What the . . . Where did Apogee go? What will Zenith do? 

These questions will be answered for the intrepid souls who dare to read further. I hope you will all take the plunge into the Horrible Bag.
