A person in a skull mask and black beanie with a leather jacket stands next to another person wearing a glittery outfit with black horns and ornate accessories; both are indoors, with colorful paintings visible on the walls behind them.

Small corgi stands at the top of a staircase. The light pointed at the dog from downstairs makes his shadow on the wall look like a huge threatening figure.

Black and white sketch of a ghost who is floating through the air with their arms outstretched. They look like a cartoon ghost covered in a white sheet with two eye holes cut into the sheet. Very cute.

The Uncanny Scot

To get you in the mood for Halloween, this back issue of The Bottle Imp pursues the spectre of the Scottish Gothic – including HP Lovecraft’s favourite Scots word …

From ghoulies and ghosties
And long-leggity beasties
And things that go bump in the night,
Good Lord, deliver us!

🎃
(the absence of a neep emoji is cultural imperialism at its worst)

The Uncanny Scot
By The Unreliable Narrator

Readers of a nervous disposition, turn away! This issue of The Bottle Imp pursues the spectre of the Gothic. Naught but ruined towers, blasted heaths, and cold wastes lie within.

Horror seeps in to this our waking world from the margins, and the marginalised. Scotland lies on Britain’s edge, a ragged, ancient fringe. The very rocks beneath our feet are primeval: they count their years in billions, and were old past knowing when first things sneaked and scuttled from out the slime. The skin is thinner here, stretched more tightly over the bones of the Earth.

Canton Viaduct - the important piece of infrastructure that has been serving northeast for 190 years. It still carries passenger rail and Acela High Speed Train today.

Cooper City Espresso at Canton Junction station is very cute. The station building is beautiful too.

I passed many cute Halloween decorations on my rides, but I had to stop for the witch on a bike decoration and took a selfie. The house is flying a pride flag 🏳️‍🌈

The same white Pinarello road bike is parked next to a tall, white granite obelisk or monument. In the background, a historic stone railway viaduct Canton Viaduct with multiple arches stretches above a grassy bank. The sky is bright blue with scattered trees showing fall foliage.

I have three spooky audiobooks for you for a spicy Halloween trick-or-treat! 🎃

The Cauldron is about a witch who runs a rare book store (and eats people to achieve immortal youth). It's fun, light, campy, and sexy.
https://geni.us/TheCauldron

My Wife, The Witch is about a witch who turns the tables on her too-large husband by shrinking him and dominating him in the night of his wildest dreams and nightmares.
https://geni.us/MWTW

The Mirror is about a couple who inherit an enchanted antique that transforms their lives and lets them seek revenge on their bullies (in a spicy way).
https://geni.us/TMir

All three books are available as audiobooks (narrated by yours truly) on Amazon, Audible and Apple Books, and also available on Amazon as Kindle ebooks.

Go on, get yourself a Halloween treat! 💋

Riding High (1958) by Gil Elvgren. It shows a pin-up style illustration of a "witch" flying across a paper moon on a wooden broom held up by wires. She wears an orange traffic cone on her head, a black lace-up merry widow, sheer black thigh high stockings held up by a garter belt, and a see-through negligee blown open by the wind. She straddles the broomstick with her body twisted toward the viewer, one hand raised in a salute. It's saucy, campy, cheeky cheesecake fun.

Look who has come knocking for Halloween...

Fascinating and most informative, this detailed and deeply researched biography draws on previously unavailable correspondence to present a fuller picture of the life of Edgar Allan Poe.

Someone was playing the piano when suddenly
there they were standing in the room.
They would not sing or speak or tell their names.
Their skull faces blankly shifted round
as if they were studying us implacably…

—Iain Crichton Smith, “Halloween”
first published in the TLS (1982)

Halloween
Iain Crichton Smith

Someone was playing the piano when suddenly
there they were standing in the room.
They would not sing or speak or tell their names.
Their skull faces blankly shifted round
as if they were studying us implacably.

“Yokels”, one thought. “Rustics”, thought another;
and truly they had trudged in out of the rain
with their masks, tall and white and bony-looking.
“Macbeth”, someone said, and someone “Hamlet”.
Or perhaps at least the “Elegy” by Gray.

The rain drummed on the roof and they were gone
in their muddy boots, squelching past cowering doors.
We looked at each other. It was graveyard time
as our black ties on our white shirts might say.

The wind blew as ’twad blawn its last;
The rattling showers rose on the blast;
The speedy gleams the darkness swallow’d;
Loud, deep, & lang the thunder bellow’d:
That night, a child might understand,
The Deil had business on his hand…

—Robert Burns’s “Tam o’ Shanter”, read by Hamish MacDonald; illustrations by Gary Welsh

Happy Halloween!

A spree i der blöd,
