eldritchhobbitRecently my friend, comic book writer Dwight L. MacPherson, and his artist colleague Igor Noronha, won the comics competition at Zuda Comics for their steampunk comic Sidewise, which meant that Sidewise would become an ongoing series. Well, this month the new Sidewise comic has debuted, and it's perfect Halloween reading!

Spooky Text of the Day: Today's story is a chilling one, "Ombra" by Mrs. Richard S. Greenough (1827-1885).
Excerpt:

I closed my eyes and lay in no enviable frame of mind. All the strange and sinister tales that I had heard in my childhood returned upon my mind, blending with the wailing of the wind, and slow, continuous falling of the rain without, - for, although the fury of the storm had passed, the elements had not yet sunk to rest, - and with the light step of the girl within as she moved backwards and forwards.
