Each month, my patrons help me design the books made in these ASMR videos, and they suggested I make something Halloween themed! I'm thrilled with the creative challenge and so happy with how the books and video turned out. If I could choose a familiar, I would definitely have either a raven or a cat companion. Have a safe and happy Halloween!
