… but Witch Week is almost here!

This year’s theme is TREASON AND PLOT (when Chris and I decided on this last year, we certainly didn’t expect it to be so apt), and our read-along is Shakespeare’s The Tempest, with treasonous plots in every act.¹

On 30 October, Chris at Calmgrove erects the gallows by introducing this year’s guest bloggers, from as far away as New Zealand, Poland and Switzerland, as well as the UK and the US. Witch Week ends with a bang on 06 November, with our announcement of next year’s theme.

Meanwhile, on my blog, sticking with the Guy Fawkes’ Day theme, I’ll be playing a little game of hangman with my readers, just to put everyone in the mood². Try to guess the word or phrase before the Guy is hanged and thrown on the bonfire.

I hope you’ll join Chris and me in this annual week-long celebration of fantasy, science fiction, and all things horrible.

Oh, and by the way:

BOO!
