I *do* enjoy Halloween, just in my own special way...

I am logging off for the rest of the night to curl up with my HP Lovecraft anthology, Neil Gaiman's Smoke and Mirrors, and possibly a cuppa.  (Or possibly hot chocolate. I kinda wish we had apple cider, actually, but I will make do with what we've got.)  Lovecraft was an effing genius.  He can give me the heebies AND the jeebies on a Sunday morning, never mind on Halloween night.  :D

Ooooh, why am I only now considering re-reading Hogg's Confessions of a Justified Sinner?  Oh, that was a GOOD one.  Oh, oh!  And... crap, what was it?  Wieland?  Oh, man, that was an awesome book.  (I am totally convinced that it inspired the movie Frailty, which is a top favorite of mine.)

You and my husband both. Lovecraft never did it for me. I've always been a fan of Poe, though.

I always tried to assign "The Tell-Tale Heart" around Halloween. That was one my students almost always loved. It's a favorite of mine, too. *cuddles her Poe anthology*

It's his poetry that really gets me. The Raven, Annabelle Lee. Classic.
