The Friday Before Halloween

 

It is the Friday 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.

I plan on reading the

Raven

by

Edgar Allen Poe

out loud to the kids knocking at my door,

watching all the

Tree House Of Horror

episodes from the

Simpsons,

and covering my eyes when my grandson puts on the scariest flick he 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

*****

 Vegetarian Zombie

The Curse Of Being A Vampire

1800 Aussie Ghost Story

 

Stories

*****

A-L-I-V - A Short Story

Tic Toc Toc - A Horror Story 

The Refrigerator Hacker 

Kingfisher - A Flash Fiction Story 

And The Child They Love - A Flash Fiction Story 

Did It Hear Me - A Flash Fiction Story 

21st Century Way of Talking to the Dead 

 

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!

Be Kind To Everyone

I'll Be Seeing You

Without Reservations

   I'm not a conservative and I've been told that I am far from it. I love new technologies and I believe in science. I believe it is only natural that the world keeps moving forward and is never stagnant or moves backwards.

   But here is where the "But" comes in. Like everyone in life, I miss some of the things I used to do, read, see, and hear. Like walking down the street with my pocket AM crystal radio waiting to hear the next Beatles' or Rolling Stones' song. Going to a Drive-In movie theater with a trunk full of my friends because we didn't have enough money to pay for everyone to get in. Seeing a live Stock Car race in person instead of playing GTA on my game console. And one of the biggest things I miss since I was little, is getting the Sunday newspaper and reading the funnies after I got home from church.

   The good news is, the oldest newspaper company in the West is still printing the Santa Fe New Mexican paper and they have a wonderful cartoonist named Ricardo Caté.

This is,

Saying You Really Need To Check Out His Work

He Has Been Doing It Since 2006

Jim Hauenstein

And 

 

“It’s like, how did Columbus discover America when the Indians were already here? What kind of shit is that, but white people’s shit?” - Miles Davis - 

 

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
