I have been constantly told by people that I should consider reading all of my horror books online. And I could save a lot of room in my bedroom by only purchasing digital copies. I don't understand why people choose to switch to digital copies of their favorite stories.

The Weight of Waking up
Morning doesn’t arrive gently. It crashes in—uninvited, unapologetic. The sun spills across the room like a spotlight on everything I didn’t finish yesterday. Golden light on cluttered floors, laundry baskets overflowing, notebooks half-filled with ideas I swore I’d return to. The air is thick with the residue of silence, the kind that hums louder than noise.

Psychedelic World by Rikki La Rouge
Psychedelic World is my first poetry book before Scenery of Society which would come years later. With this book I tried to get it published I sent it to all of the major publishers out there for example penguin publishing. There are two versions one is in English and the other one is written in Spanish. I did the illustrations for the work myself and it is true to the book being that it is a psychedelic drawing. I can’t explain the meaning of the drawing other than that it’s just cool and a snapshot of the machinations of my mind.
