To keep up with the most spookiest time of the year, MeFites have been getting into the mood over on MeFi Music! Valrus composed “a short, somewhat creepy guitar-arpeggio-centric near-instrumental” titled Dyscalyptus, while es_de_bahk did a “Quick and dirty lofi folk song” titled Saint Voorhees! Get into the ghouly groove!
What are you reading for this spooky season? Whatever it is, hop on over to Wobbuffet's post about spooky reading! It covers horror novels, haunted house novels by women, new horror books, novellas, and even more scary reading that you can shake a ouija board at (don't do this)!

Fall has arrived, which heralds the arrival of that spookiest time of the year. As such, luminary is looking for "spooky autumn-themed short stories" for a yearly, um, ritual. What do you suggest?
