Elke (misspider) | 651 comments What a great choice to read during the gray month of November! And two small steps out of my comfort zone (short stories and theme). Can' wait for November!


message 19: by William (new)

William (williemeikle) I'm here now too... my wee story, A VIRGIN BIRTH is another that links into my Sigils and Totems mythos, but can be read standalone.

I am too, but Midnight in the Graveyard was so worth it last year that I'm pretty sure this one is also totally worth it. :)


Stephanie (steviee) Saying hello again as I thought I'd done it but it doesn't appear here. My story Family Reunion is included in this lineup - a retelling of the Bacchae with a satanic twist!


Sarah-Grace (Azrael865) (sarah-grace) | 185 comments The Other...wow! I really enjoyed that.

Latasha (latasha513) | 11983 comments I finished The Corn Maidens. i LOVED this story!! I've been celebrating Lughnasadh so wrong! I usually make bread & a feast of things from the garden. Guess it's time to ramp it up! Here's my favorite John Barelycorn song-

Jason Parent | 741 comments Hello All:

Happy to come visit the Aficionados and to be part of the line-up that is Midnight in the Pentagram. Hats off to Ken McKinley and Kenneth Cain for curating such a beautiful book. My story, "Complex," is a quick little read - not all that complex in spite of the title. Hope you enjoy and happy to discuss.


Jason | 486 comments I loved the Corn Maidens as well Latasha, would love a little sequel to see how they get on down the road.

Thanks Latasha, I like your way of celebrating Lughnasadh better. Much more peaceful. Thanks for sharing the John Barleycorn song.

Hey Jason, glad you enjoyed the story. I could picture a sequel in my head as I wrote the ending. Maybe one day I'll write what happens after this story.
