Slip This Skin

The Carnage Conservatory, everyone's favorite pulp horror-zine, has posted a "Howlings" collection; werewolf themed writing released on the full moon. A piece of mine specifically written for it, "Slip This Skin" is featured there--you should go check it out. But! more to the point, you should go check out the work of other great writers like Gill Hoffs, Jeff Callico, Len Kuntz, and Cheryl Anne Gardner!


If Jake would have stayed and watched, he would have seen the ancient’s skin boil and pop, would have seen the hide of the wolf-pelt respond in the same way, the bubbles exploding and reaching out, magnetic, towards one another like so many sniffing snakes–twisting around each other, twisting the wolf-hide into the aged yellow skin.
But Jake didn’t see any of that.
Jake had already turned and ran.
