Halloween Night


 Don't get out tonight. For God’s sake don't get out.

It's Halloween tonight, and others will be out. Others you wouldn't like to see.

So please don't.

If you're brave enough, open the pages of Nocturnals and find out what strange 
things are happening in Pacific City, a place we strongly advise against any 
tourism. While we're on the subject of advice, don't go to the Usher house either, 
it really has not a good reputation.

If you have children, avoid enrolling them in Blackwood College, there's 
really something there to disturb them. In fact, as a general rule, be wary 
of places where they teach anything other than traditional sciences, 
such as the occult. There are plenty of stories about this, and Rob Bailey 
could tell you a thing or two.

Ignoring this advice could lead you to do penance like poor Mrs. Winchester, 
who lived her whole life surrounded by noisy construction work. You know 
how it is with construction work: you know when it starts, but you 
don't know when it will end.

Remember that despite the leprechauns, who are not always well-intentioned, 
despite the many ghosts that haunt the corridors of our castles, presbyteries, 
and houses, despite Nessie, Jack the Ripper, and all the ferocious beasts 
that roam the moors at nightfall, we are much safer in Great Britain!

I wish you all a good read and some horrifying nightmares.
