The Electric October waltz

It’s that time of year once again, the most wonderful time of the year. The October waltz, the spooky season is in full swing, the vampires sharpening their fangs, the witches brooms lift that much more higher, and the skeletons buff and polish their bones. I started playing my Halloween playlist weeks ago, cramming more horror movie viewing parties in before the waltz fades out.

I’ve been keeping to the grindstone, writing my novel and failing to post regularly on my new Instagram account. I did have an author photo shoot the other day, so I will have proper photographs for book jackets and promotions (if my image shows up on film). Not that anyone is clamoring for my picture, that I know of (that shadowy goth woman in the neighborhood notwithstanding), but fake it until you make it. Soon, my dark and gruesome mug will be seen all over my social media no doubt.

Speaking of horror movies, I did manage to finally watch Sinners. It was certainly well made, and acted, with a good mix of horror and drama. To be honest, I thought it took slightly too long to get the vampires into the story. They also (SPOILERS) totally wasted the idea of native American vampire hunters in that time period. I expected them to return and help take out the vampires later. I want to see them featured in a spin off as soon as possible.

That’s all I have for now. Enjoy your Halloween to the fullest, and as always, keep it spooky.
