Spooktober 2023
Happy Halloween everyone! Felryth and I are excited to bring you articles of some fearsome creatures, cultures and legends inspired by Spooktober prompts! Many of these come from the Shamsi Desert or at least Alkelbulan where so many creatures are crepuscular or nocturnal, Shamsi coming to life as the sun sets. I hope you enjoy!

Author's Notes
I had a lot of fun researching and writing these and have been at least trying to make my articles a little less dry! It seems my two styles are "creative writing" and "paper writing" as though for college and I am trying to learn how to.... well mix the two. Either way, I hope you enjoy these articles! Feel free to comment and let me know what you think, even if its bad criticism (I have a thick skin)! Happy Holloween!!
