Eve Of Halloween

 Yes,

it is the day before

Halloween

when people who celebrate the

Day Of The Dead

begin the ritual of scaring themselves

and their loved ones,

with stories

and poetry of the macabre.

Trick-or-Treating has been cancelled in my neck of the woods due to

COVID-19,

so I plan on reading the

Raven

by

Edgar Allen Poe

out loud to my kids,

watching all the

Tree House Of Horror

episodes from the

Simpsons,

and covering my eyes when my kids put on the scariest flick they can find on

TV.

If you are like me,

reading terrifying stories

and poetry is far more entertaining to the mind then watching all the special effects

Hollywood

can cook up.

So,

for your weekend pleasure,

here are some links to frightful

Poems

and scary

Stories.

 

Poetry

*****

This is,

There Is Plenty More Where That Came From Under The Headings Of Poetry And Short Stories & Flash Fiction

Jim Hauenstein

 

And,

 

“Eye of newt, and toe of frog, wool of bat, and tongue of dog,  adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting, lizard's leg, and owlet's wing.
For a charm of powerful trouble, like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble. Fire burn, and caldron bubble.”
- William Shakespeare -

 

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
