With my upcoming relocation, I haven't been as punctual with my 31 Days of Halloween episodes as I've been in previous years. Not to worry, though. I'm swiftly catching up! And while I do exactly that, here's a little something to occupy a few minutes of your time. Tim Jones and I have both recorded excerpts of Skary Childrin and the Carousel of Sorrow for your listening pleasure, whether you've read it yet or not. And if you haven't read it, what are you waiting for?
Greetings on this auspicious Hallowe'en! I present to you a short black-and-white cartoon that will hopefully make you feel just a little uncomfortable today.

Hopefully that will tide you over until The Mockingbird Song is ready! The words are below.
A strange, silent little girl turns up out of nowhere on a stormy day with only a name tag to identify her. Luckily, a kindly older couple takes her in, but for Ida and the people of Catterwall, this is where the luck ends. It seems everywhere Ida goes, misfortune is soon to follow. And it's about to get much worse. (Part 2)

Poor little Emmeline has been forgotten by absolutely everyone until a wish on a star brings her a friend. A friend who will make sure no one forgets Emmeline ever again.
