Harkening back to my Celtic roots with this folk fable about betrayal, bean sídhe (banshees), and Jack-o’-lanterns. Check it out in @APCON_MAG!
THE LANTERN - Jennifer Ostopovich (@jrostopovich)
"I blew out the flame, and the world all around was plunged into an inky darkness. The Devil’s raucous laughter split the night, resounding through the forest like the braying of a rabid goat."

"The seer was renowned for her black arts and her ability to not only predict the future, but to also affect it. I had heard the warnings, whispers of magic gone bad, and still, I had approached her out of desperation." 🎃

Taken from behind the paywall, my GHOULTIDE LETTER FROM THE EDITOR last year, a short personal essay about Haunted Air, James Ensor, Halloween (1978), and my grandma dying at roughly the same time Takeoff was shot.
Tonight, the EIGHTH NIGHT OF HALLOWEEN!

And Halloween is still here, and it will dissolve you in fear and horror.
Read this poem and hide under the covers

Billowing screams & coiling dreams
Will deliria breach
The blood-brain-barrier?"

SHADOWBOXLAND - Addison Zeller (@amhcrane87)
"...another Ohio buried beneath the present one, the Ohio dead people had aspired to make. Unrealized though it was, traces existed—nodes on another map, places where life had gone cold."

Halloween continues, and this story will travel through the inside of your body. Want to see? You have to read.
A great story for this Sunday

MOTHER - Maximiliano Guzmán (@Madmaxguz)
"Will my mother be a ghost to my father?
Or will my mother be a forgotten ghost who wanders, waiting for someone other than me to recognize her love?"

Beautiful and so realistically sad.

When I first read dickies work and then later began talking to them, my creative life was changed. I had the pleasure of reading early drafts and still I was wowed by the completed work. A fitting and horrible endcap to all the themes and threads theyve been playing with all year
FUTURES - C. Hightower (@AHightowersight)
"Sirens wailed, planes circled overhead. A woman moaned, panting and gasping. Body bags lined up below a grey sky. A large and curving steel blade."

And we're still in Halloween mode, and too many things are happening here that will leave your heart in your mouth
"ALL ABOUT HER" - Noam Hessler (@poetryaccnt1518)
"A horror story has a monster,
A vampire in a big cloak
And a red bolo;
Two fangs and a mosquito-stinger
Nose, a wasp’s
Eyes, rubber skin."
