"Eerie"

The "Graveyard Poets", also termed “Churchyard Poets” or "the Boneyard Boys” were a number of pre-Romantic English poets of the 18th century characterised by their gloomy meditations on mortality, 'skulls and coffins, epitaphs and worms' elicited by the presence of the graveyard. Moving beyond the elegy lamenting a single death, their purpose was rarely sensationalist. As the century progressed, "graveyard" poetry increasingly expressed a feeling for the 'sublime' and uncanny, and an antiquarian interest in ancient English poetic forms and folk poetry. The "graveyard poets" are often reckoned as precursors of the Gothic literature genre.

Absence makes the haunt grow fonder....

I've been detained and away from the world for the last week, and as a result have returned with a mad jones for Halloween which is easily reflected in my flickr favs which swelled a good two pages more tonight alone while listening to HauntCast 18.

I know what I'll be catching up with Memorial Day weekend....
