Main street is boarded up now. All the little shops are closed. They talk civic pride. But things get worse every year.

With 28 Spoken Word albums you need a sampler. A couple years ago I released "Joined The Sounds Of Waves" as an opinionated introduction to my recordings. But I've done a lot of writing since then. It's time for an update! My new Rural Gloom Sampler is now free to stream/download via bandcamp. https://damonthomas.bandcamp.com/album/joined-the-sounds-of-waves-a-rural-gloom-sampler #writing #poetry #SpokenWord #recording #florida #bandcamp

Two comics become one in a Rural Gloom omnibus! My Southern Gothic Flash Memoir stories paired with @BlunderBusted@c.im 's comic art. We all know Florida is haunted. Here are a few of the ghosts. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F1DJPP1R #comics #florida #poetry

The 5th edition of my Southern Gothic Flash Memoir omnibus is out! Walt Whitman continually edited and extended "Leaves of Grass." What we read now is a literal "deathbed edition" of this work. "Some Books Are Not For Sale" is a living document as well. Additions, Subtractions, Tweaks, and Rethinks. This edition adds 2 extra sections. There is always something to be done. https://www.amazon.com/Some-Books-Are-Not-Sale/dp/B0B6XQB9BF #books #BooksofMastodon #writing #poetry #memoir #SouthernGothic #florida

I grew up on the banks of the Suwannee in a very rural Dixie County, FL. Dixie County is a real place. It only sounds like a Faulknerian construct. I share short "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead"-like stories now on how the bookish might pass time in that Southern Gothic setting. Record myself reading them as Spoken Word albums. Self publish books via Amazon. https://ruralgloom.neocities.org/ I live and work in Jacksonville, FL. #introduction #WritingCommunity #writing #SpokenWord #SouthernGothic #RuralGloom #FlashMemoir
