The Boatman
by Kat Hawthorne
Isabel Wixon is weird. Not only
does she see dead things, but her list of friends consist of a talkative
ventriloquist’s dummy and the gentlemanly spider that lives in her hair. Real
friends? Too hard. Inventing friends is much easier.
Inventing the Boatman—a terrible
monster that lures kids into a strange sleeping sickness and never lets them
go—probably wasn’t one of her better ideas though.
Kat Hawthorne tends to lurk (somewhat menacingly) in the darker corners
of the literary world. In addition to a smattering of published poetry, Kat’s
short fiction has appeared in such literary magazines as Underneath the Juniper Tree, Thrills Kills and Chaos, Infernal Ink,
Dark Edifice, Shadows Express, Fiction
and Verse, and The Rain, Party, &
Disaster Society. Her literary novelette, The Oddity, was published by MuseIt Up Publishing on July 11th,
2014. In partnership with Enter Skies Entertainment, Kat wrote the narrative
portion of Fearless Fantasy, an
online role-playing game published by tinyBuild Games and hosted by Steam. As
well as being a nerd of the highest order, Kat is a graduate of Ryerson University’s
copy, substantive, and stylistic editing programs and is an acquisitions, line,
and copy editor at BookFish Books LLC.
