@the-october-country / the-october-country.tumblr.com
A blog for darker evenings and misty days, full of autumn leaves and apples, ghosts and witches, folklore and fairytales. I update all year round, but most frequently at this time of year, and the blog is both an outlet for my love of autumn and Hallowe'en and a gathering place for art, from horror films to medieval woodcuts, that evokes the sinister, the mysterious and the otherworldly. This blog has a winter counterpart at now-winter-comes-slowly. Formerly cloudsinvenice, these days I use @tealightcandles1794 to admin my various special interest sideblogs, and you can always message me there if you need to get in touch.
