Dark Humour…
Raindrops on roses and fangs on vampires, Dead souls and demons and bursts of hellfire, Corpses in death shrouds all tied up with strings, These are a few of my favorite things… A friend reminded me today that I am funny. When I want to, I can speak and write in a most comical fashion.Continue reading “Dark Humour…”
Black is the new orange…
I don’t like orange. I know, I know…as a lover of Halloween and as someone fortunate enough to be born in the glorious month of October, you’d think I would be okay with it. I just can’t be.

The unknown realm…
I’m currently reading a book about Victorian era ideas about death and ghosts. Back then, people seemed more attuned to the supernatural. Death appeared in various forms, omens were more prevalent, and spiritual contact was a common occurrence. These days, such happenings are thought to be absurd or fictional. Most people like to think we’veContinue reading “The unknown realm…”
Vita in Morte…
I am intrigued by cemetery trees. The concept of life springing forth from a place of finality fosters a certain hope within my soul. To go to a place built upon death, and to see such beautiful testaments to the unstoppable force that is nature…that is nothing short of wondrous. Trees in the cemetery standContinue reading “Vita in Morte…”
Very superstitious….
It’s rainy and gloomy here today. Most people would complain about this weather, but I love it. Rainy, gloomy days have always been my favorite. I love curling up with some hot tea and a good book while rain pelts the windows. As a child, I heard that rain in an open grave foretold misfortune.Continue reading “Very superstitious….”
