Happy (almost) Halloween my friends! Today’s artwork is a sneak peek at what I’ve created to go with a video for Halloween proper. (And just so I say it, this version has been heavily color edited in photoshop. The piece for tomorrow looks a bit different.) Tomorrow’s video will 
feature a reading of “Quem Infra Nos” by Mark Nixon from the fabulous “Shadows at the Door” Anthology. If you need a spooky read to enjoy on dark nights, I highly recommend this one. It’s full of supernaturally motivated horror, that creeps slowly and sends shivers down your spine. With some breath taking illustrations by Barney Bodoano . (Seriously, his work blows anything I make out of the water!)
You can get a hard cover copy of the book here: shadowsatthedoor.com/store or you can buy the kindle version here: https://amzn.to/2Q5Swub
BTW: If you do buy a copy of the book through the Amazon link above, Thank you! Amazon will share a tiny piece of your purchase with me without any additional cost to you. So you’ll be feeding the authors, and this humble artist all in one go.
And now, to the poetry!!!
To Inspire You:
As the sun sets
The wronged man hanged while
The hanged man wronged and the sky
wept blood for their loss.

Last week the Queen of Fire Breathing sparked our inspiration. And here’s what you wrote:
it kept bone and skin
but the body was empty
its heart in a jar#HorrorHaikuesday— David Milone (@dmilone) October 24, 2018
Risen from the tomb,
she exhales her own weakness.

A pyramid upon her tomb,
The mighty Big Top stands
Where she arises to excite
Applause from idle hands.
With thought of servants lost through ages,
She fills her lungs to blow.
As flames engulf the circus tent
She ushers men below. pic.twitter.com/LbOWF4Lw2x— Nano Horror (@tweetsthecreeps) October 23, 2018
when people ask her
how she does it, she replies

Mark Antony and Caesar
both did their best to please her
oh yes, she set the world ablaze
back in her glory days
and now she’s breathing fire
for you with every gasp
unflappably inflammable
and damning every aspA longer piece first for #horrorhaikuesday pic.twitter.com/zrtH9FapgD

Ask my why I rise
from sarcophagus nightly.
I live for my art.—
Treat her like a queen —
Adore the passion and flame!
Death adds to the thrill.#HorrorHaikuesday pic.twitter.com/T7el8xVD5Y— Chris Fischer (@SurlyByDefault) October 23, 2018
