So glad another threshold-crosser, Geoffrey Hill, got to the table. For it is so rewarding to be reminded of the sumptuous lyrical beauty of his ‘Platonic England’ verse, alongside its diamond-hard precision #Autumn #31DaysOfHalloween #Halloween2026 #Gothtober

#31DaysOfHalloween #Gothtober

Vintage Halloween card,
‘I pray you bright
flame
Now show to me
Who my future husband may be.’
‘A Jolly Halloween’
The card depicts an old Halloween tradition of divination or fortune-telling. A young woman in a formal, flowing gown is holding a lit candle and looking into an oval, floor-length mirror. Her reflection shows her in the same dress, but a different person, a well-dressed man, is shown standing behind her. The man is meant to be her future husband.
The postcard is also decorated with other Halloween imagery:
A black cat arches its back on the mantle over the mirror.
A crescent moon with an owl on it is in the center of the mantle, flanked by two lit candles and two bats.
Below the text, a carved jack-o'-lantern, a pumpkin, and ears of corn are shown.

Goodnight.

The Ghost Story, Frederick Smallfield, 1829-1915. #Gothtober #31DaysOfHalloween

A wide-eyed young sits hunched over a large book as he is sat at a table. Their face appears shocked and is lit brightly by a candle. On the table there is a slice of pork pie. In the background, a cat with glowing eyes peeks over the edge of a plate. There is also a newspaper or document on the table that hints at spooky themes. Painting.

A chibi-styled drawing of my vampire character, Sabrina. She has long black hair with red ombre, red eyes, white skin and fangs. She's wearing a layered shirt, as the overshirt is a short black top with long flowy sleeves, and the undershirt is a red top. She's also wearing short red gloves, long black pants and red shoes.

Vintage Halloween card
BEWARE! THE TIME IS HERE IN WHICH THE WITCHES DO APPEAR.
A woman with blonde hair in a blue dress peers around a grandfather clock with ALL HALLOWEEN as the numbers on the clock and a pumpkin as the pendulum. Also a black cat leans around the other side of the clock with the shadow of a witch.
