valarltdThis is classic monster week, and crafting will return next week. So today, it's all things of the Otherworld. Demons, devils, petty gods, ghosts and spirits.
Sounds of the Season:
A bit Lovecraftian, a bit of a monstermash (zombies, werewolves, unicorns, creatures beyond imagination) But worth the watch.
My ghost story:
You're welcome to tell yours, too.
I was in New Orleans for the Gay Romance Literature retreat. We were staying in the Bourbon Orleans, a very haunted hotel, which had been used as an orphanage and hospital during an epidemic. Everyone else was "what a lark, a haunted hotel, ha ha ha." I was constantly cold in the place. I was ill, so violently ill that I ended up bleeding internally (minor) from the force of the expulsions. I watched chandeliers swing in no breeze, doors open and shut with no one going through them, and orbs appear and disappear on photos. I talked to my mother one evening. I was sitting alone in a conference room, and my skin crawled and went full of goosebumps and a weight landed in my lap. I shut my eyes and Saw a little blond boy in a white nightgown, sitting on my lap.
Creepy Pics of the Day:
Hosted by a demon with whom I am intimately acquainted: Titivillus, he of typo and grammatical error, the bane of scribes.
