I'm a cryptkeeper

As the official countdown to Halloween starts tomorrow (even though I did if you noticed started mine a few weeks earlier), I have again decided to become a cryptkeeper, at the invitation of the Countdown to Halloween website. For this year's countdown, I chose the patch representing the monster of Frankenstein, as popularized with Boris Karloff. No particular reason for it, albeit I hope I can write a few posts about Mary Shelley's offspring. But there will be plenty of other monsters and critters. Today is a fitting day to create a monster, all gloomy and dark. A time to read horror stories, which I encourage you to do.
