Macabre Monday

Odious October Edition

Ma Cobb here, seems Jon T got his self locked in the apple cellar again playing hide and seek. With who? I can never figure that out. Anyhoo, a warm welcome to Macabre Monday on the beginning of this wondrous autumnal week. Up here in the north country it's crisp now. Gotta love that crunch crunch crunch walking in the dead leaves. Makes me wanna make meat pies and marmalade. 

The Macabre Monday crew wants me to remind you about the flash fiction Halloween Contest and encourage you to enter. I'm sure you can spare 1500 words or less. Give us nightmares is what they conveyed to me, which I already do regularly but this about you, not me. Give it a shot for the heckuvit.

They also wanted to announce the judges for the contest and I gotta say, these are some writers that know how to unsettle the innards and pimple my old skin. In no particular order we have:
