Wessex Tales by Thomas Hardy
I've been dipping into Hardy's short stories. His use of irony and coincidence/Fate(Weird) together with the suggestion of the supernatural or referring to folklore can produce stories fit for Halloween.

Eldritch Friday: the growth

It seems that the hair stands on end. It’s too hot to walk, it’s too cold to sing. The night star of the sea makes a long, painful cry. The darkness swallows the flying mud. The clouds go up and down. The trees cry in the moonlight, and the crows give birth at midnight on a rainy day. The weather is hot. The Mother feels the hot air. The sun is crawling on the other side of the fence.

Ilepro stared into the sapphire and made a motion with her free hand, meanwhile reciting something in her native tongue. Although she went too fast for Derezong Taash to understand, he caught a word, several times repeated, that shook him to the core. The word was “Tr’lang."

Virgil Finlay illustrating an excerpt of the poem A Wine of Wizardry (1907) by George Sterling, as reprinted in Weird Tales, December 1937. #FinlayFriday

And, ere the tomb-thrown echoings have ceased,
The blue-eyed vampire, sated at her feast,
Smiles bloodily against the leprous moon.
