So, I will say they all are, which is why I included them in the collection. Once you do, the others stare at you with those cold, furious eyes and you aren’t sure it’s safe to go to sleep. Do you have any favorites in the bunch?ĮLIZABETH MASSIE: Thanks so much for the good words, Dave! As to the stories in Madame Cruller’s Couch and Other Dark and Bizarre Tales, I must say it’s hard to name a favorite child. Beth is fascinated by abandoned amusement parks, hospitals, and houses and always keeps an eye out.ĬEMETERY DANCE: Madam Cruller’s Couch is your newest collection and it might just be your best. She and Cortney like to place and find geocaches, spend time at Starbucks, and drive around, seeking roads they’ve never traveled before. She’s had more than 30 novels and collections published as well as countless short stories in anthologies and magazines and is constantly bombarded by ideas for new tales.


Now Beth juggles writing and life with her wonderful husband, illustrator Cortney Skinner (she tried juggling him, too, but…), in their country home in Augusta County.
