HALLOWEEN CELEBRATION Day 02: Lovecraft Halloween Poems
A chill wind weaves thro’ the rows of sheaves
In the meadows that shimmer pale,
And comes to twine where the headstones shine
And the ghouls of the churchyard wail
For harvests that fly and fail.
–H.P. Lovecraft (Halloween in a Suburb)

Robert E Howard’s ‘Rattle of Bones’ (A Solomon Kane Tale) Featuring ‘Witch Child’
‘Black shadows wavered on the walls as the two followed their silent host down a long, dark hall.

At a certain door he halted, indicating that they were to sleep there. –Robert E. Howard (Rattle of Bones)
