Since Linkin’ Thursday falls before Halloween, we’ll have our special Halloween edition today.  Did I tell you that I love Halloween?  I don’t even have a costume yet.  I never have a costume until the day before or the day of October 31.  Ah, well, what are you going to do?

I have my Mozilla Halloween skin on my browser and I have some links opened up to ugly, creepy, crawling things, such as this bison cockroach (my horrible homage to Bison Books) over on Ugly Overload, scary and freaky things like this ghost swing, and Halloween specific, horrible things, such as Ghost Droppings.com.

First off, here are the other Halloween themed sites.  If you’re like me, and you don’t have a costume, Scar Stuff may give you some ideas.  Halloween Addict will post about "all things black and orange from the Autumn season through October 31st," which is only six days away.  If you have some free time at work (or school, or home, or the coffee shop) and you want to take a virtual trip, check out the Virtual Haunted Mansion.

For readings literary–or semi-literary–maybe not so literary at all, you might want to check out these themed lit blogs.  The Blog Monster offers reviews on recent comics, scary movies.  I like their rating system.  FantasyBookSpot isn’t exactly creepy, but fantasy can sometimes be horrible.  Patricia keeps tabs on blood suckers on her blog, Patricia’s Vampire Notes, with authors interviews, books reviews, and commentary from the masses.  Hellnotes has posts on everything horror, including fiction reviews and author interviews.

I think that’s enough frightening links for today.  Tomorrow, I’ll have a very special Linkin’ Thursday on Friday (ahem) to look at the other side of the holiday: Science Fiction.
