The best bookstores are haunted.

My name is Hecate Grimm, and I own a bookshop. It’s pretty average as far as bookstores go. Nothing special to see here, or at least that’s what my regulars believe. They also think I’m a ventriloquist, special effects guru, and dedicated actress.

Clearly, when it was raining brains, the vast majority went out with umbrellas. I’ve told them, time and time again that I’m a witch, and this is a haunted bookstore, which is why it’s called The Haunt.

But no, it’s much easier to believe I wasted time learning to throw my voice and hanging invisible wires all over the place. After all, you’re modern people. How could anything supernatural be going on right under your noses?

Maiden, Mother, and Crone—the stupidity of it makes me sick. I guess you can come in if you must. Look around and actually buy something since you’ve had the audacity to interrupt my book. Just don’t wear out your welcome or waste my time with your idiotic questions. I have fictional characters to get back to, and they’re all more interesting than you.

 

Book Trailer:


Top 5 favorite Video Games.

  1. Crash Team Racing. This was my jam growing up, and I still love it today, especially if I need a quick chill-out moment.
  2. Civilization. I have played all of them, and I continue to love them. I’m such a weenie, though. Now that I can turn off the barbarians, I totally do, and I try very hard to win without any sort of war. I can hang with the snide remarks so long as they stay in their lane, lol.
  3. Baldur’s Gate 3. I have played through it twice and romanced all the characters (I am that person, and I’m not sorry). It’s such a fun game, and I love playing it with my husband and friends.
  4. Skyrim. I find something new every time I play this through. I freaking love it.
  5. Sims 3. It was the best Sims, and we all know it. 

 

 

About SamiJo McQuiston:

SamiJo is a first-class shenanigator, decorated coddiwompler, narrator, creator, and author of The Abney Kelly series and The Haunt (coming October 8th). She also has a short story, One Samhain Night, published in the UJ Plainsong literary journal in April 2024, and a poem, The Bottom, coming out in collaboration with other North Dakota authors in late 2024. She lives in North Dakota with her husband (Andy), dogs (Puck, Enzo, and Bailey), and three cats (Horus, Anubis, and Snow Kitty). In her spare time, she reads, writes, listens to audiobooks, plays video games, and enjoys D&D on the weekends.

On a more serious note, writing is everything to SamiJo. As a sickly child, she often spent her time indoors or at the hospital before they figured out she had asthma. At that time, books were her best friends. Without fairy tales, the Dear America Books, and authors like Diana Wynne Jones, Jim Sukach, Anne Martin, and Richard Peck, she would have been unthinkably lonely. She aims to write stories that give people a much-needed escape from reality and create places to go when getting out the front door is too much to bear.
