Happy Halloween!

Halloween Strictly Come Dancing

One step, two step 🎃 halloween monsters assemble,
Stretch, shuffle, begin,
Cha cha, quick step, disco, rude dancing,
Welcome! Wicked🧙‍♀️ witches, 😈 demons, 🧛‍♀️ vampires, and ghostly divas.
Cheer! To the discordant music of the long since and recent dead.
Meet our amazing judges.
From the wild side, Lou Reed,
For his renowned eccentricity, David Bowie,
Offering gentle criticism, and celebratory wishes, Prince.
For a grungy peace, love, and empathy vibe, Kurt Cobain,
What talented judges! Hip hoorah!
So, play nice, no cheating,
Rules… Dancers listen carefully!
Witches wands are strictly forbidden,
Ghosts, no fading in and out,
Demons keep to the dark side,
Vampires don’t eat before the competition!
Judges decisions are final,
The winning dance will be…
Written in the unholiest blood!

Hope you have a fun Halloween.

My reading from The Cull, Midnight Roost:

Hi. Welcome to my blog: M J Mallon - Kyrosmagica Publishing. A blog about magic, books, writing, laughter, and much more! I'm a YA fantasy author, poet and reviewer. My first YA fantasy novel The Curse of Time - Book 1 - Bloodstone is set in Cambridge and Book 2 - Golden Healer is now out too. As well as this, I have contributed to several anthologies, created my own with some amazing international writers, bloggers and creatives during the pandemic: This Is Lockdown and written two poetry collections: Lockdown Innit Poems About Absurdity & Mr. Sagittarius Poetry and Prose. I write book reviews on my blog and on Goodreads, book bub and on my bookstagram. I have a penchant for travel and have relatives in far flung places, Australia, Malaysia, and Singapore, (my birthplace.) I grew up in in Bonnie Scotland, in Edinburgh, and now live in Cambridge. I love sunny, hot places, particularly Rome, Venice, Portugal, Barcelona, and I forgot to mention the sun drenched beaches of the Caribbean, how could I? I am lucky to have been blessed with two lovely daughters and a husband who I fondly refer to in this blog as my black sheep. Family joke! With my passion for travel, culture, beautiful beaches, good food, books, theatre, writing, and humour, I hope to keep you entertained. I'm loving every minute of this creative journey, please join me. View all posts by Marje @ Kyrosmagica
