Emerald Moon Creations
Misty has always loved everything horror, spooky, and paranormal. And being creative and drawing have been integral passions. In 2025, Misty decided to not only get back into drawing, but make a business of it..and viola!—Emerald Moon Creations was born. Misty combines her love of horror and all things spooky to her art and transforms that into other fun things like stickers, shirts, and cups that drip blood. You can find a menagerie of stylish, spooky fun with Emerald Moon Creations.

Crochet or Cry
Crochet dark, macabre wall hangings, totes, pillows, and more with these 20 ultra-easy patterns. Emily Chavez, creator of Crochet or Cry, will teach you her favorite, foolproof methods for creating bold, unique projects with tapestry crochet color changes. Designed with beginners in mind, these devilish creations use only two stitches (single crochet and chain stitch) and feature easy-to-follow charts and row lists, including places to mark off what you’ve already completed. You’ll be able to stitch up these bewitching designs with no toil or trouble!
No matter which one you decide to stitch up, you can finish it any way you choose. Plus, with only one hook size and five yarn colors used, you can focus more on the satisfying chills you’ll get watching these ghastly images emerge from your hook, one row at a time.
