Coming in strong with the happy news the Horror Writers Association accepted a post I wrote for the upcoming Halloween Haunts blog series next month. Whether you called it Mischief Night, Devil’s Night, Gate’s Night or Goosey Night, you may have lived in the times when the night before Halloween was reserved for unsavory tricks. In Maryland, it used to be called “Moving Night” and toilet-papering was getting off easy. Vandalism, property relocation, window soaping and even arson had Marylanders cringing with dread on Moving Night. My piece runs, appropriately, on October 30th. Chest thumps and a deuce with love to the HWA!
