My latest short story "Mixology" is in the anthology Year's End: 14 Tales of Holiday Horror, available now at the Untreed Reads Store and at Amazon. Coming soon to most e-book venues.
The countdown has begun, but the only thing striking at midnight will be terror...
New Year's Eve isn't all champagne and confetti. For some, it's filled with regrets, the changing of the day dragging them kicking and screaming into a year for which they aren't prepared. This year, some people will be screaming, but they may not make it to the New Year at all.
Mixology Exceprt: Tonight’s signature drink is Midnight Ice. Nancy decides to try one, though event-based drinks are usually awful. In moments, Alyssa has whipped up a concoction made of Blue Curacao, Black Haus, and two kinds of gin with crushed goji berries and a basil leaf, finished with a squeeze of key lime over ice. “Stars?” she asks.
