On Poe Sundays, we celebrate the Master of the Macabre, the grandfather of gothic fiction, writer-poet extraordinaire Edgar Allan Poe.
Fun Fact: Despite that readers the worldover consider the narrator to be male, there is no gender specified in The Tell-Tale Heart, thus, some critics have taken up the point that the narrator may in fact be a woman.

New month means new theme, campfire creatures.
burnt marshmallows
ghastly campfire tales
one spooky summer
This month’s theme is campfire creatures.
How much do you really know about the creatures lurking from deep in the forests?
Remember to always practice good camp and fire safety and the ghosts of careless campers won’t lead the monsters straight to you.
Our theme is graveyard life.
ruffled feathers
a nice chat between old friends
crypt conversations
broken bauble
mischievous smile
the changeling
Our theme this month will be dark and spooky Christmas.

So, here’s the deal, Krampus is coming. That’s that. 2020 is not done with us. The face on Grandma’s vintage snowman, probably caved in. Those holiday lights you put away last year with meticulous care, suddenly, a big knot. The money you saved to give the kids a nice Christmas, probably going to fix your car or pay the rent or buy a new refrigerator, whatever, it’s gone! To top it all off, Covid-19 just ruined all our holidays plans! Such is pandemic life!
