Halloween is here again, and all I have to do to stay dead is make it through the night alive.

Here we are at the middle of October, which means it's time for one more rest stop; one more pause along the road that runs from Sparrow Hill to the Last Chance Diner. Unbelievable as it is to say this, there are only two more stops after this one, only two more pauses before Rose Marshall finishes this leg of her journey. Strange, isn't it? It feels like we could have kept on driving for the better part of forever. But we can't. The trip is almost over.

Issue 58 of The Edge of Propinquity is live, and with it, the tenth of the Sparrow Hill Road stories is available. "Bad Moon Rising" lets us see how Rose Marshall spends her Halloween nights—and here's a hint: she doesn't get many treats to balance out her tricks. It's a chase in a cornfield, and a game that not everyone survives playing. Come along for the ride?

There are a lot of stories trapped and tangled in the twilight. This is only one of them. But it's the one I have to tell.

Welcome to the ghostroads.

Just wanted to make sure I have the right email address for you? I sent you a message awhile ago and didn't hear back, so I think I may have an old one.

Sorry to butt in like this :/. Back on topic, though, I like this series a lot! (though I'm not all the way through yet)
I just got an email from you. I can take a long time to reply, as witness the age of some of the comments I'm answering today.
Oh cool! :) That was actually the email that prompted me to say "Omg wait. I sent her another awhile ago, didn't I? Huh." That's TOTALLY fine if it takes you awhile! There's no rush. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't lobbing messages into the ether.
