Hi friends,
BOO!
Happy almost Halloween! It’s less than a week to go ‘til the best day of the year, and my backyard feels intensely autumn right now—yellows and oranges and reds and greens. I’ve also been watching and reading a lot of horror, but have been kind of disappointed in my choices. Have you read or watched anything truly scary and good lately? If so, please let me know about it! I need some quality horror in my life!
And if you need some other cool and dark things to get you in the Halloween mood, here are some random recommendations for you:
I recently became obsessed with the York Ghosts! These are tiny ceramic ghosts only for sale at certain, random times throughout the year. (Or in their store in England, which is a bit far away for me to travel to...) After a few failed attempts to purchase one of these creatures, I finally succeeded! My glow-in-the-dark ghostie should be coming my way soon-ish! Check them out, but be warned: You may also get addicted.
Love creepy dolls as much as this girl? Have you seen this amazing video of the singing suitcase dolls? Brills.
Want a little magic in your life? Love crime stories? I’ve got an anthology for you! My short story, “The Wig,” was published in the Chesapeake Crimes anthology Magic Is Murder this year. Pick up your copy right here.
And if none of that gets you in the spirit, my friends' adorable dog and his favorite Halloween blanket ought to do it:
I’ve got lots of great deals going on right now with my books (more on that below!) and still working steadfastly on my third novel, which is set to come out in late December 2023. I will hopefully have more news on that in the months to come!
Until then….
Stay spooky,
Tara
