A Halloween Reader: Poems, Stories, And Plays From Halloweens Past

Lesley Pratt Bannatyne

A Halloween Reader: Poems, Stories, and Plays from Halloween Past

Amazon Price: $8.95 (as of 05/15/2012)Buy Now

From the author's introduction:
"This is not a horror anthology, though horror may be found here." Throughout, the writing, by both well - known and obscure authors, is excellent, and authenticity, mystery, a foreboding atmosphere, imagination, and a sense of wonder are the volume's touchstones; strict morbidity is kept at a minimum."

    The Retched Rose

    Oh, good morning sweet little rose
    what are you doing here
    so late in the year

    Shut up you freak
    I'm not sweet
    I have thorns
    my needles to life
    my sweet revenge
    your life depends
    NOW get in the kitchen
    brew my poison
    what I crave
    with my last breath
    I'll be at your grave

    1-part crap from an old hairy butt
    1-part intestines from any human's gut
    1-part squirmy toad tail
    1-part beastly toenails
    1-part mushy rice
    1-part poltergeist
    1-part blood straight from your veins
    1-part sugar grains
    stirred not shaken
    straight up
    I'll waken

    Halloween night
    kids will pass by
    MY! MY! MY!
    The tricks I know
    are straight from the master
    guaranteed to cause disaster

    I'm red
    I'm alive
    I'm big and bent
    my thorns are hid
    I'll see you in the graveyard
    KID

    HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
