Yes, it is almost that happy, haunted time of year again! For those new to my flist or who just overlooked Haunted October in years past, I have an annual tradition of posting an original spooky story each week during the month of October, culminating on Halloween, for (ideally) a grand total of five new stories. Last year, I fell off a bit because I was in the middle of my first semester, but I'm starting my semester in October this year (and in a different program to boot), so I'm hoping to keep up this year. I already have one story finished and several more underway, at least enough to make my goal. The challenge, of course, will be to finish them on time.
But the point about all of this isn't to crow about afflicting my flist with my horror fiction. It's to invite others to play along, even if only to share one story. Some of you have taken me up on my challenge in the past, and it is always such a joy to get to read other authors' spooky tales. If you write something in October, please do send me a link (because I rarely have time these days to devote the time to my flist that I should ...)
My own writings will all be flocked, so if anyone is out there lurking who wants to read the Haunted October stories, please let me know so that I may add you. Since Halloween is on a Saturday this year, new stories will be posted on Saturday.
This is my fourth year doing this, which is itself slightly scary. It seems like just yesterday that I first came up with the slightly mad notion. Past years' stories can be read here.
