A screen shot of each comment was folded to the same size, shaken, and the first one to fall back out of the Trick or Treat canister declared the winner! All entries will be entered in the final drawing for the lantern (shown above), a few weeks from now. Thank you all again!

And sounds like an awesome photographic series! Spookywitch goes to college!<br /><br />Thank you so very much for the bookmark, the connection, and supporting hot cocoa and especially the bats! Reminds me how much I miss the night exhibit at the Seattle zoo - sloths and bats - what could be better???

As a lifelong child of Halloween and a bibliophile to boot, I'm having difficulty expressing just how much cozy, curious, spooky connection I feel toward basically everything you post - from leaky ghosts to Krampus, from images to words. Hats off to you, sir!<br /><br />The best friend I will ever have known always used to call me, very fondly, their spookywitch and their swamphag. The nicknames came from my too-long and slightly obstinate mess of hair, which she always said belonged more to a creature cloistered away in a creaky cottage in a wilderness just beyond reality than to a university student. Your blog and The Herbivorous Witch remind me of those nicknames and that feeling, the best feeling in the world: finding other people out there who share your love for fuzzy fruit bats and cocoa on a night whistling with winds. <br /><br />Thank you for opening up this giveaway! But more importantly thank you for what you do. Consider yourself officially bookmarked for many future visits.madestatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12716117049057008091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1103188566365154248.post-78786010928092351882013-02-08T19:01:20.319-07:002013-02-08T19:01:20.319-07:00Thanks to all who commented thus far, and comments...Thanks to all who commented thus far, and comments are still welcome! <br /><br />This Sunday evening, I will pick from those who commented this week on The Herbivorous Witch.<br /><br />Next week I will begin another round for a 2nd print book, when on the same Sunday evening I plan to write a new blog entry for the 2nd story, Jitter. <br /><br />Archive Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13049161998828213788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1103188566365154248.post-57106106971817847952013-02-07T08:33:39.365-07:002013-02-07T08:33:39.365-07:00A priceless treasure in countless ways to have tho...A priceless treasure in countless ways to have those passed to you by your great grandmother! Who likely had them passed down to her? That alone is an interesting tale! A very curious instance of witches, I would love to hear more about them. <br /><br />This reminds me I wanted to read the Firefox ghost stories. Back in the day, during storms in the South when the lights would go out, my dad would read these to us by a hurricane lamp.<br /><br />Thank you for the comment and I will put your name in the hat for a book this week, and a lantern at the end of the "author notes" entries.

...The great pumpkinrot! I need to send a thank-you.<br /><br />Your witch vision is incredible, and makes a great story. I would love to hear more of it. I imagined the inhabitants occasionally stealing teeth from the dead to fend off these witches? Or worse yet pulling them from their own mouths in a pinch!? <br /><br />I will certainly put your name in the hat, for a book, and at the end of the next few blog entries, for a lantern.

I noticed that the older versions of witches had them somewhere between a ghost and a demon instead of starting out as human. Maybe it is just the local tales of Virginia that paint this picture.

There were five of them in this town, and once a year they rode out through the hills and would snatch a person, then leap off the cliffs into the sea and disappear. If you threw a handful of human teeth in their path, they had to stop and give one of the people back that they'd stolen over the years. I don't know. It was weird. I do love giveaways and books, so I figured I'd leave this here.

Whenever I read your writings about "The Herbivorous Witch", I always wonder if she truly eats only plant material, or does she also eat men named Herb? <br /><br />I need to read it again, but my best memory of your story is her perched on the gate in the snow with her long green nose, then floating towards the window. Even as an adult, I find this imagery very creepy, like the film "Insidious". And that makes me not trust that she's truly herbivorous.
