Welcome to the Graveyard Draft.
This is where the unfinished things live. The scenes I buried. The words I tried to forget. Some nights, I dig them up just to see if they still bleed.
I write in the hours no one talks about. the ones where the world feels off-kilter, like time forgot how to move forward. When silence hums and shadows lean a little too close.
This isn't a brand. It isn't polished. It’s restless.
You won’t find answers here. Just stories with teeth, strange echoes, and maybe a few pieces of me I haven’t stitched back in yet.
If you're still here, good. You probably belong.
“Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win.”
“The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?”
About the Author
I’m Jessica McGovern. I write things that don’t like staying on the page.
I was never drawn to happy endings. I like the moments before the fall. The crack in the mirror. The sound you’re not supposed to hear.
I grew up in the quiet. The kind that feels heavy. I learned early how to keep secrets, how to disappear, how to watch the world and write it down in case no one remembered it right.
I don’t believe in muses. Just obsession.
When I’m not writing, I’m reading or chasing ghosts through old dark memories.
I live where the light fades. That’s where the stories come from. That’s where I do my best work.
