The Ladies of Horror
Picture-Prompt Writing Challenge!
Umbra
by Ashley Davis
The night is wild with moonlight.
The winds come off the water
Optical isomerism
Glinting like stars.
She wears her fear like fire.
Burning within the shadows
To take on the monsters inside
And beneath.

About Nina D'Arcangela
Nina D’Arcangela is a quirky horror writer who likes to spin soul rending snippets of despair. She reads anything from splatter matter to dark matter. She's an UrbEx adventurer who suffers from unquenchable wanderlust. She loves to photograph abandoned places, bits of decay and old grave yards.
Nina is a co-owner of Sirens Call Publications, a co-founder of the horror writer's group 'Pen of the Damned', founder and administrator of the Ladies of Horror Picture-prompt Monthly Writing Challenge, and if that isn't enough, put a check mark in the box next to owner and resident nut-job of Dark Angel Photography.
Spreading the Writer's Word 
Darkly delightful.
