Ghostly Tales at Coffee and Critique

Yesterday's Halloween story session was entertaining and lots of fun!

Everyone had a unique take on the topic, and everyone who attended read. One person who couldn't make it e-mailed a story, which I believe will be read next week.
Once again, the guys outnumbered the gals. This time it was 5:3.

Here's a glimpse of what was read;with titles like these, how could we not have a good time?

"Social Guy," a cat fight and a cat with special powers.

"The Crime of my Life," a humorous glimpse about working at a crime lab in Springfield, Illinois.

"Voodoo Barmaid," a guy walks into a bar and strange things happen.

"And the Dead After All are Not Hungry," a touching Halloween story about love and loss.

"Halloween," a mysterious woman, a graveyard, a love potion, and a tombstone.

"Elixir of Life," a magic potion with life-altering properties. Where can I buy some?

"The Ghost of Chateau de Chasse," a family moves in to a Belgian castle, where they're not the only residents.

"Yankee Doodle Dead," the ghost of a Yankee soldier haunts a Missouri family.

Scary Times at Coffee and Critique

In the spirit of the Halloween season, the Coffee and Critique writers' group will have a special meeting for members to read (without critiques) stories (true or fiction) or (here's the scary part--poems) with a Halloween-like theme.

Bring your true or made up stories (up to five, double-spaced pages) or poems (up to two, single-spaced pages) about Halloween adventures, ghosts, goblins, zombies, vampires, witches -- things that go bump in the night or raise the hair on the back of your neck.

The scarier the better, but, please, no excessive blood or gore.

This special event will be Tuesday, October 28, from 10-noon at our usual venue -- the Rendezvous Cafe in O'Fallon, MO.

Costumes optional.
