Black Moon

Apparently, tonight is  a Black Moon, which is apparently a rare lunar event. Again. After the strawberry moon this summer, the blood moon last year, the blue moon when there is one... Well, like blood moon, the Black Moon sounds deliciously sinister. Which has to be a particularly good time for werewolves, or to read stories about them if you are not one or don't have one handy. Even though this is not a full moon, I am sure lycanthropes must change shapes on the night of a Black Moon. And, fittingly enough, tonight will start the official countdown to Halloween, so all the more reason to celebrate the Black Moon rising. And to watch this space, as I will of course blog about Halloween in the upcoming weeks, almost exclusively.
