Our shelter is once again far beyond capacity. As of today, we don’t have a single open kennel for new arrivals and are scrambling for solutions. In an effort to increase adoptions and save lives, we are waiving adoption fees for dogs over 6 months of age now through January 21st. They still come fixed, vaccinated, and microchipped, so it’s an incredible way to bring home a new dog who is ready to go!

If you can’t adopt, spreading the word to anyone you know who has been wanting a dog would be a big help. Our last adoption event was a huge success and more than 300 animals found homes, so with your help we can do it again!

You can view available animals at the shelter and in foster on our website here https://www.cityofsacramento.org/Community-Development/Animal-Care/Adoptions/Adopt-A-Dog but we encourage you to visit the shelter to make in-person connections. They are all wonderful dogs and with so many to choose from, there is a perfect dog for everyone!

We hope to see you soon!

I thought this was funny. While at work last night, I received a notification from Google on my phone. Someone from Facebook asked for editing rights on one of my short stories that I posted links to share for Christmas.

I declined with a note saying: "I do not even know who you are, and you're not even going to give me the respect of asking me first?
"

I hope it didn't come off as rude, but seriously. This is copywritten work why would I let someone else access the raw file. I might do this one day to see how the story ends, but not with something I've already published.

Since my last post I have wrote 3 more Xmas Horror tales, the last 2 based on classic stories (A Christmas Carol and It's a Wonderful Life). Again, I plan go have the PDF digital files for these works available for download, FREE as my holiday gift to everyone (Links below). They will be available in publication, all individually and eventually all in one collection down the road as I may add more, we'll soon see.

Enjoy reading and happy holidays!

12 Nights of Eldritch Yule is done and I decided to give it away free for a week as a PDF Ebook but I am also going to publish it in paperback and Hardcover as well. So the link will be good until just after Xmas and if I am feeling nice I may extend it until New Years, but we'll see.

12 Nights of Eldritch Yule

I put my other projects on pause because I had an idea. I started a Christmas horror anthology book that's Lovecraftian in nature. I even wrote an Eldritch version of T'was the night before Christmas lol. There's 12 stories, 13 if you count the overall story that connects them all via the prologue and the epilogue. It's called "12 Nights of Eldritch Yule" and here's the poem I wrote inspired from Twas the night before Christmas:

In the unfathomable eve before Yule, when all within the eldritch dwelling lay ensnared in a preternatural trance,
Not a single entity stirred, not even the most minuscule aberration dared to dance;
The stockings, suspended with an eldritch precision, clung to the ethereal hearth with malevolent care,
In hopes that the cosmic harbinger, veiled in eldritch shroud, would soon materialize there;
The children, cradled in the eldritch embrace of their spectral beds,
Witnessed visions of nightmarish realms and eldritch sugar-plums cavorting in their fevered heads;
And the maternal figure, enshrouded in a spectral cloak, and the author in his occult cap,
Had just fortified their minds for a protracted sojourn in the realm of eldritch nap,
When upon the spectral grounds there manifested an otherworldly cacophony,
I sprang from the bed to witness the intrusion of what blasphemous anomaly.
Away to the window, I hastened like a fleeting apparition,
Tore open the shutters, revealing a portal to an alien dimension.
The moon, casting its eldritch glow upon the newly fallen cosmic snow,
Bestowed an eerie luminescence upon the eldritch tableau below.
Before my bewildered eyes transpired an aberration of cosmic dread,
A miniature sleigh and eight abominable coursers, guided by a spectral driver, so lively and dread,
I knew in that moment, it was the harbinger of cosmic horror, St. Nick.
More rapid than eldritch tempests, his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by eldritch name;
"Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and V***n!
On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen!
To the zenith of the spectral porch! to the apices of the spectral wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"
Like spectral leaves before an otherworldly maelstrom take flight,
They ascended to the house-top, vanishing into the eldritch night;
With a sleigh filled with forbidden artifacts, and St. Nicholas astride,
A spectral figure emerged as the eldritch sleigh did glide.
In a cosmic twinkling, I heard upon the ethereal rooftop,
The prancing and pawing of each spectral hoof's malevolent clop.
As I withdrew my head, turning with a spectral twist,
Down the cosmic chimney St. Nicholas descended with an eldritch tryst.
Cloaked in otherworldly fur from head to foot,
His attire adorned with the malevolence of interdimensional soot;
A bundle of forbidden cosmic artifacts slung upon his back,
He resembled a peddler of eldritch wares, his spectral pack unpacked.
His eyes—how they gleamed with the madness of cosmic mirth!
His spectral cheeks like nebulous roses, his nose a celestial cherry's unearthly girth!
His droll mouth drawn in an eldritch bow,
And the beard of his chin as white as cosmic snow;
A stump of a pipe clenched in his teeth with spectral grace,
Its smoke forming eldritch halos in the astral space;
A broad face and a little round belly,
That shook with eldritch laughter, like a bowlful of cosmic jelly.
He was plump and spectral, a jolly eldritch sprite,
And I laughed in the face of cosmic awe, in spite of the eldritch fright;
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Assured me of eldritch tranquility, filling my heart with spectral stead.
He spoke not a word, but commenced his eldritch chore,
Filling each stocking with eldritch gifts galore;
Then with an eldritch nod and a touch of his nose,
Up the cosmic chimney, in eldritch repose;
He sprung to his sleigh, to his team gave an eldritch whistle,
And away they all vanished like the eldritch down of a cosmic thistle;
But I heard him exclaim, as he transcended beyond eldritch sight,
"Unearthly Yuletide to all, and to all an eldritch night."

Changing focus for a bit to recharge the creative storytelling juices by writing some poetry. So I decided to make it a book. here's the first poem:

Echoes of Eden

In the hush of celestial tapestry,
Where the Eldritch Elder Gods weave,
Echoes of Eden softly breathe,
A cosmic hymn, a dark reverie.

Whispers born from realms unknown,
Beyond the veil of mortal sight,
In Eden's echo, shadows alight,
A symphony where Eldritch winds have flown.

In Eldritch Garden's serpentine embrace,
Flora of alien hues entwine and trace,
Forbidden knowledge blooms in every petal,
A cosmic secret, in the Eldritch nettle.

The blossoms sing an eldritch tune,
Their petals whisper an arcane rune,
A paradise bathed in ethereal light,
Yet shadows dance in the Eldritch night.

From Eden's echo, humanity is born,
Innocence wrapped in cosmic dawn,
Yet shadows cast by Eldritch might,
Ignite the spark of forbidden sight.

The first stirrings of mortal breath,
Ignite a dance with eldritch death,
In Eden's cradle, humanity thrives,
Unaware of the cosmic web that connives.

Echoes of Eden linger in the cosmic scroll,
A tapestry woven, a story to extol,
In shadows cast by Eldritch hand,
Humanity walks the eldritch strand.

The cosmic resonance, an ancient hum,
Echoes through realms, where Elder Gods thrum,
As Eden's whispers fade into the cosmic night,
A prelude to tales, in Eldritch Reverberations' flight.

In the cosmic forge, humanity takes form,
A symphony of stardust, a celestial storm.
Bathed in the glow of Eldritch dawn,
Mortal souls awakened, a cosmic fawn.

Eyes wide, reflecting celestial hues,
Innocence wrapped in cosmic clues.
The Eldritch Garden, a distant call,
A cosmic lullaby, a cradle for all.

The first breaths, a whispered sigh,
A dance with destiny beneath the Eldritch sky.
Eldritch winds weave through mortal hair,
A cosmic secret, a tale to ensnare.

Humanity's dawn, a celestial birthright,
In the Eldritch Garden's ethereal light.
Yet, in the innocence of nascent grace,
Lies the echo of Eldritch embrace.

Within the Eldritch Garden's emerald embrace,
Alien blossoms bloom, a cosmic ballet in space.
Hues unseen by mortal eyes entwine,
Floral tendrils that in eldritch rhythm twine.

Azure petals that shimmer with cosmic breath,
Their fragrance whispers the dance of life and death.
Eldritch roses with thorns that gleam like stars,
Guardians of secrets, cosmic avatars.

Celestial lilies with petals that unfold,
Revealing tales in scripts of silver and gold.
Each bloom a chapter, each leaf a cosmic page,
In the Eldritch Garden's unearthly stage.

A paradise bathed in ethereal light,
Yet shadows dance in the Eldritch night.
The flora sings in an alien tongue,
A symphony where Eldritch winds have sung.

In this haven of beauty and cosmic dread,
The Eldritch Garden, where mortals tread,
For every petal, a tale untold,
In the Eldritch Garden's mysteries, they're enrolled.

In the Eldritch Garden, beauty intertwines,
Yet beneath the blooms, a secret unwinds.
Forbidden knowledge, a whispering thread,
Woven into the petals, where Eldritch forces tread.

Subtle shadows in the cosmic light,
Eldritch Elder Gods, unseen in the night.
Their influence weaves through flora and vine,
Planting seeds of awareness in the Eldritch design.

Mortal minds, innocent and unwise,
Feel the cosmic pull, the allure of the skies.
Curiosity kindled, a spark in the soul,
As forbidden knowledge takes its toll.

The Eldritch Garden, a tempting delight,
Its beauty conceals the lurking blight.
Mortals, drawn to the forbidden tree,
Reach for knowledge, unshackling the key.

The Eldritch Elder Gods, their tendrils entwine,
Guiding mortals into a realm divine.
Forbidden knowledge, an eldritch lure,
A dance with cosmic truth, obscure.

In the Eldritch Garden, curiosity blooms,
As mortals tread towards impending dooms.
For every petal that reveals its lore,
A step closer to the cosmic core.

Beneath the Eldritch Garden's celestial dome,
Shadows slither, a cosmic undertone.
Blissful ignorance, a delicate façade,
As Eldritch shadows, in the garden, applaud.

Innocence bathed in ethereal hues,
Yet lurking shadows refuse to lose.
A juxtaposition of beauty and malevolence,
As Eldritch forces weave their presence.

Cosmic tendrils, like shadows unseen,
Whisper secrets in the blissful sheen.
Mortals, unaware of the looming strife,
Dance in the garden, embracing life.

Yet, shadows lengthen as daylight wanes,
Eldritch whispers, like soft refrains.
Blissful ignorance, a fragile veil,
As cosmic malevolence sets its sail.

In the Eldritch Garden, a cosmic ballet,
Innocence dances, shadows in play.
The collision inevitable, fate in the making,
As Eldritch forces stir, the garden quaking.

In the Eldritch Garden, where shadows entwine,
A revelation whispers in the cosmic design.
Beauty and malevolence, a delicate ballet,
As innocence waltzes, unaware of the fray.

The Eldritch Elder Gods, their presence near,
In the Garden's heart, the cosmic frontier.
A realization dawns, a flicker of dread,
As mortal footsteps echo with cosmic thread.

The forbidden tree, its branches wide,
Casts shadows where cosmic secrets bide.
Innocence lingers on the precipice,
A dance with Eldritch forces, the cosmic abyss.

Closing verses in the Eldritch Garden's tale,
Where innocence and shadows set sail.
The cosmic tension, a quivering string,
In the Eldritch Garden, where destinies cling.

A revelation looms in the Eldritch night,
As innocence and shadows unite.
The Garden echoes with a cosmic plea,
A prelude to the Eldritch Reverberations' decree.
