I know. It’s a bit early, but I’ve been reading creepy stuff since 1 October.
In keeping with my Halloween blog tradition, here’s an old favorite for your reading pleasure:
Pieces of Nine by V. T. Eric Layton*
*link opens a .pdf document that you can download and read at your leisure.
Have a SCARY Halloween! And don’t eat too much candy.
Later…
~Eric
Excellent Eric, thanks!! Will be good to read it again. π
I know this’ll sound self-serving, but I hadn’t read that story in quite a few years. I re-read it tonight. It’s not too damned bad, I don’t think. It’s not Edgar Allen Poe or H. P. Lovecraft, but it’s not too bad. π
Quite a few years? It has not been that long has it?
I remember when wrote it, or was that a repost?
I wrote it about this time in 2008. That’s a few years, right? π
I posted it originally at my old Lockergnome/Nocturnal Slacker blog.
Wow, I did not realize it had been 4 years already π
Tempus fugits and all that… π
Not too bad at all! π
I was telling Chipdoc at Pleasant Valley just now that I think it’s improved with age. π
Speaking of Chipdoc, I wonder if he would do an audio version of it, or maybe you could Eric. I bet you could do a great job too. You could also make some money off of that through PodioBooks.com if you put it up in podcast form.
I have the voice for it, but Chip has the experience. I bet he would give it a shot. That would be pretty cool, actually. I may suggest it to him. π
Yea!!! Great story! Thanks!
You just got another (early) Halloween treat tonight. The Tigers swept the Stinkees! Yeah!
WOO-HOO! GO TIGERS!!!
I’ll read this over the weekend (I’m having a lunchtime sandwich at my desk in the office right niw…) Is candy-eating a Halloween tradition across the Pond? Sounds good to me!
Candy consumption on Halloween is, of course, a greedy capitalistic enterprise… er, I mean a great childhood tradition here in the States. π
ROFL! Right Eric!
Me also read something creepy. Heard elections were coming up. The lesser evil won.
Yeah, but the election horror had a happy ending, for the most part. π
