If you haven't listened to the audiobooks I narrate before and you like spicy books, The Cauldron is a great place to start! It's fun, light, a bit campy, and moderately spicy. Plus it takes place at a Halloween Party.
Check it out: 👇

In Irish folklore, the Fomorians are demonic beings who come from the sea to battle the divine Tuatha Dé Danann for control of Ireland. Many Fomorians have a monstrous appearance, such as the head of a goat or only one eye, arm, and leg. However, some are beautiful.

River and Brook were asked to join a Halloween celebration last night at the retirement center where River does his Therapy Dog work. River’s favorite part was trying to eat the fake spider webs!

This erotic revenge story starts out with a magic mirror that grants the main characters the power to grow to gigantic proportions!
If erotica with magic elements, growth / expansion, giant women, revenge, or bullies versus underdogs make you happy, check it out! 👇

But gin the auld fowks’ tales are richt
An’ ghaists come hame on Hallow nicht,
O freend o’ freends! what wad I gie

published in COUNTRY LIFE, 1920
Jacob’s only son, Harry, was killed at the Somme in 1916. This poem evokes the desperate sadness felt by so many in the aftermath of the First World War.

Happy Halloween! I would be thrilled to make a few more audiobook sales before the month closes. If you'd like to treat yourself or a friend to one of my spooky, spicy audiobooks, you can find them on Audible, Amazon and Apple Books.
If you'd like a link to buy it on a particular platform and region, I'd be delighted to give you the link, just let me know. (It adds up to close to 40 links per book, which is why I don't include them all in posts.)
Thank you always for your support and Happy Halloween! 💋

In the big church of Beauly, mysterious & unearthly sights & sounds were seen & heard at night, & none who went to watch the churchyard or burial-places within the church ever came back alive…

![In the big church of Beauly (Eaglais mhor na manachain, i.e. of the Monastery) mysterious and unearthly[195] sights and sounds were seen and heard at night, and none who went to watch the churchyard or burial-places within the church ever came back alive. A courageous tailor made light of the matter and laid a wager that he would go any night, and sew a pair of hose in the haunted church. He went and began his task. The light of the full moon streamed in through the windows, and at first all was silent and natural. At the dead hour of midnight, however, a big ghastly head emerged from a tomb and said, “Look at the old grey cow that is without food, tailor.” The tailor answered, “I see that and I sew this,” and soon found that while he spoke the ghost was stationary, but when he drew breath it rose higher. The neck emerged and said, “A long grizzled weasand that is without food, tailor.” The tailor went on with his work in fear, but answered, “I see it, my son, I see it, my son, I see that and I sew this just now.” This he said drawling out his words to their utmost length. At last his voice failed and he inhaled a long breath. The ghost rose higher and said, “A long grey arm that is without flesh or food, tailor.” The trembling tailor went on with his work and answered, “I see it, my son, I see it, my son; I see that and I sew this just now.” Next breath the thigh came up and the ghastly apparition said, “A long, crooked shank that is without meat, tailor.” “I see it, my son, I see it, my son; I see that and I sew this just now.” The long foodless and fleshless arm was now stretched in the direction of the tailor. “A long grey paw without blood or flesh, or muscles, or meat, tailor.” The tailor was near done with his work and answered, “I see it, my son, I see it, my son; I see that and I sew this just now,” while with a trembling heart he proceeded with his work. At last he had to draw breath, and the ghost, spreading out its long and bony fingers and clutching the air in front of him, said, “A big grey claw that is without meat, tailor.” At that moment the last stitch was put in the hose, and the tailor gave one spring of horror to the door. The claw struck at him and the point of the fingers caught him by the bottom against the door-post and took away the piece. The mark of the hand remains on the door to this day. The tailor’s flesh shook and quivered with terror, and he could cut grass with his haunches as he flew home.](/proxy/post_attachment/1211312/6767867659ef5c723b04814b43b07949.webp "In the big church of Beauly (Eaglais mhor na manachain, i.e. of the Monastery) mysterious and unearthly[195] sights and sounds were seen and heard at night, and none who went to watch the churchyard or burial-places within the church ever came back alive.

A wife was sitting at her reel ae night;
And aye she sat, and aye she reeled, and aye she wished for company…
Sadie Stein recalls “The Strange Visitor” – an eerie Scots tale. Performed well it should cause “a scream of alarm”
