[31 Days of Halloween] October 29
Tonight's treat: spooky divas, a haunted forest and bog bodies
Good evening, my little haunters and lurkers,
A delectable assortment for you tonight.
Bog bodies are spooky, no? This is a fascinating academic paper looking at every bog find, arranging them on a map and timeline.
I have a reader recommendation to share! From Charles: “And just this month the Mistress of the Dark herself published Elvira's Cookbook from Hell: Sexy, Spooky Soirées and Celebrations for Every Occasion. I have a high bar to clear with novelty cookbooks but this one really delivers on its premise: spooky looking food that actually seems like the sort of thing you'd be able to make that actually seems tasty.” (Thank you Charles, I’m gonna check it out!)
Another spooky diva: Janelle Monáe graces the cover of Paper Magazine (photos by Pol Kurucz).
The Halloween candy is in the house…I repeat: the Halloween candy is in the house.
Yours in temptation,
Laura
