Working on "Seeing Stella" - an Occult Realist Horror story about a guy who gets vaguely involved and obsessed with a woman name Stella.

I'm in the research and plot development stage of a historical Southern Gothic novel with overtones of magical realism. That's a fancy way of saying I'm reading papers, daydreaming, and making disorganized notes.
