With Halloween just days away, I’m sure you’re already gorging yourself on candy and marathons of scary movies, skirting your reading list or half-finished manuscript to work on your prize winning costume. And that’s fine, but let’s admit there are more productive ways to get your spook on. Why not read a spine-chilling short story?
“A Collapse of Horses” by Brian Evenson is bound to freak you out. The narrator, recovering in a hospital, tied to the bed, tells the story of his mysteriously changing house, where light switches change locations, windows grow and shrink, and one day he has three children, another day he has four. After coming upon a paddock of horses lying as still as if dead, the narrator takes drastic measures to end the madness.
Or if you’re looking for a scary story with more of fun twist, check out “Royal Jelly” by Roald Dahl, in which a man attempts to cure his baby’s starvation by giving her the jelly meant to feed queen bees. Originally published in Twilight Zone Magazine, Dahl spins this weird and freaky tale with his usual hint of humor.
I hope you have a fun and frightening Halloween while using some scary stories to improve your craft. What spooky stories will you be reading this year?
“One For The Road” by Stephan King is a little known followup to his “Salem’s Lot” novel from the 70’s- this is kind of a gloomy subject because most of the best examples of this fun category date from
a time when you could still make money writing short fiction, sometimes even a living. Ray Bradbury used to practically live in a time when it was always Halloween in a small midwestern town somewhere between 1928 and 1949. The good old days are always fun as long as you don’t have to go to the dentist.
Alright so I know the dimensions are there but like other people I also didn\’t think this suede leather-based bag would be quite this tiny! I also really don\’t especially like the color.this suede leather bag seems lighter than in the photograph. I keptthis suede leather-based bag becausethis suede leather-based bag was a reward and I usethis suede leather-based bag when I am just attempting to have something little like my telephone and a handful of credit history playing cards http://www.wrbags.com/Nappa_M-2.html
OK, is this a non-sequitur or just an old-school wrong number?
