Happy Hallowe'en, Everyone!

It's raining here and it's cold, and we have had no trick-or-treaters at all. My husband and I are raiding the candy. I thought I'd say goodbye to October with this picture:

Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels are a favourite of mine, so I've adapted Joann Swanson's Consummate Bibliophile to represent DEATH, who always speaks in capitals. He is winding down with his friend Jack (who lights up and flickers), with a dish of candy and a goblet of wine. They have a 2-man,  mythical-characters-only book club. DEATH has doffed his cloak and scythe (they may appear next year) and donned his smoking jacket and fez. The discussion of their chosen book appears to be quite, uh, lively....
