HAPPY HALLOWEEN

The Gashlycrumb Tinies, by Edward Gorey. Is there anything better for Halloween?

Also, other creepy bits...

In the New York Observer, there's a new theory on how Edgar Allan Poe died. It was a brain tumor.

KNBC, out of Los Angeles, has compiled 15 famously freaky ghost pictures.

And, if you want to sit down with a fun book this evening, might I suggest Eric Nuzum's informative and charming The Dead Travel Fast? It's a cultural history of vampires.

Or, if that's not something you can sink your teeth into (HA!) the Washington Post highlights books that'll scare the bejesus out of you.

P.S. A hunter, traipsing through the Allegheny National Forest, found Bigfoot.
