His influence immeasurable. His macabre horror has thrilled readers and inspired writers, including this one.

So many different images of #Cinderella have appeared over time. This one is by the artist(s) Safir Rifas. I love the dark fairy tale atmosphere of this. Titled: Cinderella: Black and White.

At the conclusion of Yule, in the new year, folks shared a toast of Wassail. In England (and at my house) this form of mulled wine was also served in other places in various forms. Scots call it "hot pint" and it is used in a toast to prosperity.

It was an impulsive kiss
Under stars so cold
In the manic moment I knew
Our demise was foretold
You would leave on the wandering winds
Embrace your freedom at last
Escaping the ghosts we both conjured
In our dark & haunted past

Why they coupled us as partners was beyond my understanding. The dark angel and light swaying together to the music. What might have turned into a terpsichorean terror became our own dance of passion.

His eyes like autumnal pools
From golden to rotting brown
Changed from glass to jewels
He spoke of the unfaithful sun
With wondering eyes silent I stood
"This belongs to you...it has begun.”
Memories withering I was bereft
My blood could save this land
The last sacrifice left
