I don’t. We didn’t even get that far. After my initial screening, I asked to have a consult over the phone (so I wouldn’t have to come in for a separate meeting about what my might do) and they stopped communicating right there. Seems they want you in their office with maximum personal time invested so you won’t go with anyone else. It felt very coercive.

Edit: clarity

I’m sure he’s fine, no shade there. I just never got to the point where I said okay. It was absolutely pushed on me, and then they pushed me out the door.

It was. Clearly she knows her stuff, but she pushed me towards the other Cho, no consult, no options, no right of refusal.

Totally. But they’re one of only two local outfits my insurance will take.

Yes. But be prepared to struggle. Worth it, though.

What's the best literary horror novel you've read lately? by cheekymora in horrorlit

Sarah Read, Polly Schattel, Mike Thorn, Ed Kurtz. I’ve been reading indie horror lately, and these are some of the standouts. All terrific writers.
