REJOICE, FOR SPOOKY SEASON IS NIGH.

Please prepare yourselves for The 13 Posts of Halloween!

Buckle up, pals. Gird your loins. Do all the hyperbolic preparatory actions you can muster because October is almost here, and for one month, Bombastic Frippery will go wild.

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but Halloween is my thing. Although my vibe is more cozy-spooky than splatter-scary, spooky is still the operative word. As an elder goth, I’ve earned my place as an ambassador for the dark side. Sure, it’s the lighter part of the dark side, but it is still dark.

This October, regular Bombastic Frippery content will be pre-empted for The 13 Posts of Halloween. Besides our typical Friday newsletters (with added seasonal flair), you’ll also receive additional brief posts on Tuesdays and Saturdays. We’ll even have a guest post from a Secret Source who is TikTok famous, plus a subscriber-only* extra that I’ll send on the 1st to kick everything off.

If Spooky Season is also your thing, please forward these posts to others. Feel free to actively share them! If Halloween high jinks aren’t your thing, please remember that everything will return to normal (well, as normal as it ever is around here) in November.

Halloween only happens once a year, but we’re going to savor it this time.

*I don’t mean paid subscribers -- everything here is free, as usual -- but an extra treat for subscribers that will only come via email. It won’t be on the website or app because it’s just for you. Mysterious, right?
