A few years ago, I started a series on my blog called 31 Days of Holiday Hooligans. It was my blog’s equivalent of Freeform’s 25 Days of Christmas and Lifetime and Hallmark Channel’s yearly blitz of sappy holiday-themed movies starting around Thanksgiving (and some years sooner).
Every December, I would post short stories and poems featuring all kinds of holiday shenanigans.
I use the term “hooligan” loosely, of course, for the purpose of alliteration. The holiday fun doesn’t get that wild…usually…
This year I’ve decided to bring the challenge to my second-favorite time of year: spooky season, aka, Halloween! As a girl who loves ghost stories and anything monster (vampires, werewolves, mummies, oh my!), I can’t believe I haven’t thought of this sooner!
So, every day during the month of October, I’ll post something spooky, something paranormal, something suspenseful, something that would surely give you a fright!
Or not—I never said I was good at scaring people. I write mostly romance, after all.
If you’d like to join the fun, just tag your post “31 Days of Halloween Hooligans” so I can come find you in the Reader (sorry I can’t think of anything shorter).
The haunting starts October 1. See you then!
Or should I say scare you then, hehehe…
