October's End
October's End | Horrified Press
23 posts | 1 read
Summer has shed its kin by the time October comes to town. Frost is in the air, twilight lingers and the nights loom over the shortened days. Nature displays the dying of the year with a explosion of color. The nights are darker and the stars are clearer. Belief is, that the wall between the worlds is at it's thinnest during this season and on the 31st of October it's even possible to cross over in both directions. We simultaneously hope and dread that we will catch a glimpse of or come in contact with the dead, undead, those who never lived, and the undying.We all love Halloween. Of all nights of the year, Halloween is the one where we hope that the impossible can be made possible and unreal can become real. It's the day where our deepest fears and wishes take on flesh. On Halloween our souls cry out "Scare us! Show us Fear! Makes us BELIEVE!" We wear masks not to hide, for that is an illusion, but to reveal our true selves. It is the one day where we find the courage to laugh at Death.

The markers are showing just two bingos for October. I‘ve been listening to quite a few chunky books—looking at you
-The Sisters
-Mona‘s Eyes
-The Devil Reached Toward the Sky
Still need to review several of these!
Trying to find some balance by reading some graphic novels to help my physical book slump. #BookSpinBingo

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Fantastic progress!! 1mo

I had a fun time reading scary books for October. As a matter of fact, I'm still in the middle of a few, so my Halloween is just going to have to extend into Spooky November. 👻🦃

I had a blast this Halloween. We handed out candy to over 100 kids, ordered Chinese, and watched Rocky Horror. It was perfect. 🎃

I somehow read 34 books in October! A lot of comfort/rereads and a lot of audio!

This month was quantity over quality with no 5 star reads. ☹️ So it may be tough for me to choose a favorite book this month.

It‘s 80F on October 31, and I‘m drinking iced mocha.

It was a pretty good reading month. Impossible Creatures was my favorite, and I also especially enjoyed the latest Tana French.

It looks like Beautyland is the odd book out in terms of the color story. 😄

This is Corey, the outgoing guy among my friends‘ cats I watched earlier in October. He‘s missing a tooth which makes him look a little cranky, but he‘s actually very sweet. Eventually the two girl cats came around and tolerated my presence.

Anyway, I didn‘t get that one last book finished, but I still think my #wrapup is pretty respectable. Tom Lake was my favorite for the month.
