It’s the Halloween season again, a time for frightening ourselves and others. To help you get in the mood, it’s time to remind you of my book of short stories, Shy Ghosts Dancing: Dark Tales from Southeast Alaska.
As a matter of fact, it’s about time I re-read the book myself. I don’t do that often enough, and I sometimes forget the stories I wrote; ironic, since I originally wrote them for my own entertainment.
I’d forgotten about one I particularly like, called Long Black Veil, until the other day, when I heard the old folk song that inspired it. Now that it’s too late to fuss over how I might have improved on the story, it would be pleasant to curl up with a hot drink in front of the fire and read it for pleasure.
Sighted in a Washington DC neighborhood, it’s . . . shy ghosts, DANCING! (if you recognize your yard, please comment on this post, and I’ll send you a free copy of my book!). (Photo: Mark Zeiger)
