SPOOKTOBER DAY THIRTEEN
welcome to my spooktober audio advent calendar, where, each day during the month of spooktober, i will be celebrating by listening to a free audio short from nightfire’s Come Join Us by the Fire series, and you can join ME by following the links. let’s all be scared together!
6 minutes
this one is…fine, but a little cheesy; like a valentine card for your high-school goth-girlfriend into which you have slipped that ring from The Crow:
(in this analogy you are also in high school). quoting william blake doesn’t elevate it into littrature, and writing it in second-person is a weird choice, and had me retorting “nuh-uh, that’s not inside ME!” etc. anyway, that was day thirteen, the SPOOOOOOKIEST day of the month.
