Something Wicked.

A book of poetry straight from the shadows, At Night, The Dead by Lisa Ciccarello & Blood Pudding Press.

Two days ago, a spider large enough to make me nervous took up residence in a shadowy corner of my bedroom. I’ve always harbored equal amounts of love and hate for spiders. On the one hand, I’m completely repulsed by their overall appearance and feeding methods, but on the other hand, I’m utterly fascinated when I see one. The hair will stand up on my arms and I’ll let out frightened little giggles like a 5 year old as I watch them crawl around. Since I have a thing for predatory women and animals, I thought these creepy crawlers would make a perfect holiday addition to my collection. And while I’m on the subject of creepy, I figured I’d pull together a sampling of other bits and bobs that go bump in the night…

I never imagined that I would describe a spider as whimsical, but this dreamy ornament is right out of a fairytale. Handmade Ornament, Spider 3 of 2009 by Corid.
