“Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift.”

Mary Oliver

My name is Vivian Haloveir, and I major in creative writing at the University of Central Arkansas. This means I’ve spent thousands of dollars to sit in a room full of people and have my work ripped to shreds. It’s fine. I’m fine.

Dear Darklings is a place for me to explore and write about the darker things in life that catch my interest, whether that’s horror-based TTRPGs, true crime, or spooky folklore. It’s also a central landing spot for the various projects I have going on (most of which involve horror or dark fantasy these days). One day I hope to make enough from all these ventures to escape into the wilds and live the life of a hermit…one with high speed internet access and Amazon delivery.

Give a listen to the Can’t Stop the Signal podcast I’m proud to be part of. It’s analog horror told using the Public Access TTRPG game system, but it also deals with friendship, love, and trying to find your place in the world.
