Looking at the calendar we are now less than two weeks away from Stephen Crane's birthday. What a glorious day that will be! November 1st also marks the one-year anniversary of this blog. That's right, one full year of celebrating Stephen Crane online nonstop, and we didn't even break a sweat.
Before Crane's birthday we have to endure this thing called Halloween, a time to dress up and pretend, while encouraging little kids to run around bothering strangers for candy. Since we can't fully hide from this day, we can at least taste it with a touch of style, in this case consuming a spooky article by the master.
Crane wasn't known for tales of terror, as Poe was, yet this little piece from an Asbury Park newspaper puts the chill in us with Crane's unmistakable pen knitting visions of a lonesome spectral indian & a ghostly shipwrecked dog, among others.
Zoinks!
