Background
I’ve always been inspired to tell stories of mystery, especially those that represent deeper emotions. What started as a photo idea inspired by The Twilight Zone became a nine-part project. So each Halloween from 2019 to 2021, I released three Slightmare stories until the anthology came together.
A Word
The catharsis and gratitude that comes from bringing this project to life are inexpressible. To everyone who so graciously helped to make this vision a reality, it means the world. I’m always honored to share the artistic experience alongside passionate friends.
