Jack-o'-Lantern_2003-10-31
The Celts also thought that the spirits of the dead could wander freely during Samhain, and certain precautions had to be taken to protect the living from their malevolence. Households would carve turnips into frightening faces and use tapers to light them from within, leaving them outside their homes to ward the ghosts away. Young people wore masks or frightening makeup and wandered from home to home taking offerings of food or coin.

Eek Books! eBooks! Frostbite Excerpt

I can no longer walk home alone at night. David Wellington’s Frostbite has cheerfully, okay, graphically, pointed out that horrible things can happen to you when you’re alone. And while Cheyenne Clark was lost in the wilderness, not walking home alone, when she was bitten – I’m not taking any chances.

Eek, Books! eBooks! Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks Excerpt

If this doesn’t make you see that we must organize or die, nothing will and I wash my hands of you.
