October really is the best time of the year.

If you missed my lecture on the demolished pioneer graveyards of San Francisco at last weekend’s Death Salon, there’s a Storify compilation, so you can relive the whole glorious, fascinating day.

I got quoted in Travel & Leisure’s list of the World’s Most Beautiful Cemeteries.

Gothic Beauty magazine reviewed — and really liked — Wish You Were Here: Adventures in Cemetery Travel in their October issue.

My exhortation to “Take You Children to the Graveyard!” (published on Scoutie Girl) has been getting some nice attention.  You can check the essay out for yourself here.

I survived another of my brother’s birthdays.

And I’m going to read some of “A Curiosity of Shadows” from The Haunted Mansion Project: Year One at tomorrow night’s Litcrawl.  I’m part of the Evening of Eternal Damnation at Casa Bonampak at 8:30. More details are here.
