A friend of mine decorated her house for Halloween, and I thought this one shelf looked so cool that it would be an awesome picture with which to start October.  She let me share it here.  (This is the same person who who made me my super-cool Halloween decorations a while back.)

I told her that those bird people reminded me of the Taheen, a unsettling race of beings in Stephen King’s The Dark Tower multiverse.  She couldn’t really appreciate the reference, as she is not a King fan the way I am.  And, if you think about it, the Taheen are kinda hard to explain to the uninitiated.
