Well, here we are in our second week of our latest  Macabre Monday challenge.  Our challenge is:  The Poetry and Prose of Poe: Romantic or Lunatic? Poe's writings pretty much run the gamut of real horror, including questions of death, decomposition, premature burial, the reanimation of the dead, and mourning. How can you not be inspired? And now for some Minion eye candy.  Cr eepy Cricut Cween  Donna : Cadaverous Concoctor of Chaos Creepy Glowbugg: The Freak of the Formidable  Fiona : The Contagion of Corrosion Croms : Imp of Insanity  Ike : Come on and play along with us! We have a prize for the chosen  Gruesome Twosome. Show us your Poe!! And please make sure your project contains some sort of obvious nod to Poe.  WTF is up with Blogger and the freaking left justified crap?! Gonna pull my hair out!!!

* Please see the sidebar for HDH Macabre Monday Rules* ( Note: entries not following the guidelines are not eligible for prizes or badges ) The next challenge is: Poetry and Prose of Poe: Romantic or Lunatic? You are to create a dark, Gothic, or Hallowe'en based art piece using Poe's writings to personify love or lunacy. There are plenty of stories and poems to choose as your muse. Mister Poe was an interesting man with lots of demons and maybe a touch (or more) of madness.  You can read more about him here . And from the dungeon this week we have: Sultana of the Sinister Blackdragon : Inspired by "A Dream Within A Dream" Temptress of Terror Teri : "I have him labelled as a hopeless romantic, obsessed with death." Menace of the Monstrous Mark : Romance or lunacy, which will you choose?
