Website Description:
Finally, it’s October! Home to my favorite
holiday—Halloween.
The origins of Halloween trace back to ancient Celtic
harvest festivals, linking it to themes of change and transition that often
elements of the fantastic. Darkness falls, boundaries dissolve, and our
imaginations open to infinite possibilities.
For authors of fantasy and horror, the imagery and
symbolism of Halloween fuels imagination and storytelling around our deepest
fears and fascinations. The holiday has cemented itself as a staple in the
literary tradition of the fantastic. Here be ghosts, monsters, witches, and
everything dark and diabolical. It provides the perfect setting for classic
stories. What would the season be without Washington Irving’s “The Legend of
Sleepy Hollow,” H.P. Lovecraft’s “The Rats in the Walls,” Ray Bradbury’s “The
October Game,” and and so many others? Not to mention Mary Shelley’s
Frankenstein, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and practically everything Stephen King
has ever written.
You’ll find more than a few seasonally appropraite
tricks and treats in this month’s pages.
