Into the Realm of Mystery and Night — Janet Eckford
It's hard for me to pick a time in my life when I haven't enjoyed the thrill of a
good scare. The heady anticipation of the adrenaline rush, the heart beating faster, and the prickly feel of tiny hairs on the back of my neck standing on end.
This “scare” is of course always controlled and contained. I don't seek out fear just for the thrill of it but when I read a particularly scary story or watch an especially frightening movie, I am in love with how that narrative is causing my senses to go in overdrive. Fear can also have another face, one of longing, regret and precioumoments lost but frozen in time. That type of fear is often the scariest for me to experience because the fantasy of what may hurt me is all too real. But of course Ienjoy it just the same. This collection of shorts is inspired by the many facets of “fear” and housed within the context of one of my favorite holidays, Halloween.
Each day you have the opportunity to read a story that will hopefully have you
checking under the bed each night, sleeping with at least one light on or shiveringwith relief that it isn't your story being told. My greatest wish for you is that by the 31st day of October, you too will revel in all things that go bump in the night and with anticipation waiting for next year's delights.
