It’s time.
Welcome to the Breathless Halloween Blog Bash. I’ve been expecting you. The brew bubbling at the bar is filled with an extra punch to get your creative juices flowing… on the stone floor. Finger sandwiches were flown in fresh from the morgue and the delightful music playing is Victor Van Byteurnek’s Rhapsody in Blood.
Let’s play a little game, shall we?
1. Drop a link to your blog in the comments and leave an enticing hook that penetrates the victim’s soul, if they have one. Watch for unsuspecting prey back at your lair and then feast on their comments on your site.
2. Then come back to play again, only this time you get hooked and click to other baleful blogs.
Here’s Cheat Code just for you: Tell them, “Susie sent me,” and they should click back to your graveyard digs.
Hopefully, you will become tangled in a web of new blogging fiends, I mean followers.
Only leave ONE link per comment or you will plunge into the depths of spam. Its gruesomeness knows no bounds and your comment will be banned forever more…. ever more….ever more….
Use Twitter and Facebook to invite your friends. The more the SCARIER… The party will rage until the bell tolls on All Saints Day, then I’ll retire to my crypt.
Stay hydrated fiends and don’t forget to DANCE!
Need more Halloween fun? How about a true tale of ghostly terror or story about a real Halloween circus to get your heart pumping….

Muwahahaaaa!!! Fab party Susie, I’m particularly enjoying the blood orange cocktail, and your costume is to die for (ha!). I won’t post a link to my most recent post as it’s not party-appropriate. I shall instead post a link to my previous post which is much for fun – it has a clip from a TV show of a failed cake my daughter made, which is kind of scary in it’s own way! And details of an invention which, again, is kind of scary for completely different reasons… https://vanessa-chapman.com/2016/10/03/cake-plus-uroclub/ I shall come back later to hop around some of the other links!

Hi! I’ve already read some great stuff (Oh heavens- a gold club you can pee in! WHY???).
I’ve asked around my new neighborhood to discover the average number of Trick or Treaters. The expected number of visits is, wait for it. . . one. So, the amount of candy we’ll have left over is pretty frightening I’d say.

It was a BLAST! I love MileHiCon, and I seem to have more fun with each year (my third year)…get to meet such cool people, make new friends, meet old friends. Learn stuff. Exchange ideas. Get to again congregate “with my people”! This was my 5th “writer event” this year and I just had a blast–never have I done so many events before (two at the most). You should try it on for size–with your costumes, you’ll more than fit in! :-]
