Wessex Tales by Thomas Hardy
I've been dipping into Hardy's short stories. His use of irony and coincidence/Fate(Weird) together with the suggestion of the supernatural or referring to folklore can produce stories fit for Halloween.
#TheThreeStrangers and #TheWitheredArm are good examples.

Asemic Snapshots for Trick or Treat
***** Asemic Snapshots:
Ghosts ~ Travellers in A Far Off Land
The three stanzas are #tankas, with accurate line number and the required 31 syllables, though the syllable count per line does not follow the traditional formula. The concluding #ProsePoem, turns the whole composition into a sort of reverse #Haibun.

This evening's viewing: The Uncanny, a creaking, 70s #horror in the portmanteau style of linked shorts, except here the tales are being told by author Peter Cushing, who is sure cats are behind all the deaths.
Daft but kind of easily enjoyable for a Sunday night

A day of surprises and strange juxtapositions.
