“In November, the earth is growing quiet. It is making its bed, a winter bed for flowers and small creatures.
“The bed is white and silent, and much life can hide beneath its blankets …”
— from Cynthia Rant’s In November

(No, it did not snow here in Roanoke. But it snowed in a lot of my friends’ burbs, and I cannot resist the pun.)
Enjoy it and stay safe!!

“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power.
“Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.”
Arundhati Roy, The Cost of Living

I penned this little tale about ravenous zombie children a decade ago — and the really nice people over at Tales of the Zombie War published it. Since so many of you guys are being so cool about getting into the Halloween spirit, I thought I’d contribute what I could. 🙂
The Tales of the Zombie War website appears to be going through some minor formatting issues with its text. (As someone who writes this informal blog, I can vouch for how easily that can happen.) But I think that the story is still easy to read.
Enjoy “The Siege of Fort Buzzard.” And aim for the head!

DC Comics.
I don’t know why I love antique cartoons the way I do. They’re just sort of an odd little peek into the past and they have this strange, inimitable charm.
Anyway, enjoy “Felix the Ghostbreaker” (1923). Thanks to TheVideoCellar for the upload.
