Happy Halloween!

It’s my favorite day of the year! Here’s a seasonal story I published a couple of years ago, called “The All Hallows Knight,” in which a young boy tries to revive the spirit of the dead, and gets more than he expected. Happy All Hallows Eve, one and all. https://issuu.com/theparagonjournal/docs/final_version_tales_of_reverie/10

Art is by Joseph Mugnaini, who did many wonderful illustrations for Ray Bradbury’s work. This one is from The Halloween Tree, first published in 1972.

Halloween Stories

I’ve shared these before, but here are a few of my short stories that are right for this time of year.

The Touch is the story of a young girl with strange powers who must stand up to cruelty in the neighborhood, and in her own home.

In The Song of Thetis, a strange apparition absconds with a young boy, tearing a family apart.

The All Hallows Knight is a Halloween story about an unexpected visitor who shows up on October 31.
