Hey all. I’m just stopping in to let you know that our good friend Jason Evans is holding another flash fiction contest on his blog. The long and short of it is that you write a 250 word story (or poem) based on the picture he has posted. For all the rules, check out Clarity
Have you decorated yet? I don’t do much decorating for Halloween anymore. Just some scattered reminders that it’s October again. I’ll have my Jack O Lanterns, a few evil-eye stickers, and sometimes a hanging scarecrow I make out of dried leaves and old clothes. Not the scariest looking thing in the world, sure. Unless, that

Well recently a friendly blog-prowler, neverendingwonder, pointed out another source for Halloween Radio. His source, http://www.neverendingwonder.com/ I suggest you check it out.

I can’t say enough good things about Shaun Jeffrey’s new novel, The Kult. Bottom line, if your looking for a fast-paced thriller, you owe it to yourself to check it out. For my full review head on over to Dark Scribe.
