I Walked with a Link Dump
A Natural History of Dragons – The first in a series of “Memoirs by Lady Trent,” a sort of Victorian travelogue mockumentary, except with dragons. The sequels are The Tropic of Serpents and Voyage of the Basilisk.
Sailor Moon Tarot – This set of the Major Arcana is really well done.
Crab Centipede – This shellfish arrangement would be the BEST centerpiece for a Halloween party. (Hat tip to Pixel Pixie)
Night Terrors – Indiegogo campaign for an augmented reality horror game that uses your phone to make the action seem to be happening in your own house.
Gardens with a Magickal Theme – Suggestions for witchy plantings.
Spiders vs. the Sun – From Randall Munroe’s “What If?” series. Favorite footnote: “Spiders are quantized.”
9 Terrifying Old Movies That Put Modern Horror To Shame – A roundup (on Cracked, so be prepared to get lost in a thicket of links and waste several hours). The Man Who Laughs really is creepy as hell.
Finelineworkshop – Etsy shop full of gorgeous leatherwork creations, including some of the most adorably “monstrous” storage boxes you’ll ever see. Bored Panda has a roundup of those.
Feelers – Animated typeface meant to resemble wiggly tentacles. I like the still version, but think that the animation would have to be slowed way down to be readable.
Frock Flicks – A costume movie review podcast. “Because stretch velvet isn’t historically accurate.”

As for old horror movies putting the new ones to shame, “Leagend Of Hell House” is my favorite and most likely the best of the Haunted House movies ever made

Ooooh, more Kindle books, yay!!
I really want to plant a night-blooming planter outside my bedroom window. This is perfect.
“Milligrams of spider” is my new favorite unit of measurement
“Extreme spider situation” my new cover band.
Also this.
Wait, an economic model of arachnoid sexual cannibalism?! I have wasted my academic life.
Thank you for letting me basically live-tweet my reading of that article at you.
Acknowledging that Game of Thrones has no need of “historical accuracy”, based not in any historical time or place, I am concerned that either my browser or that website knew my search term from the first “g”. That said, “And yet I watch the TV show, Reign.” can easily be my Hulu Queuelu’s title.

Damn. Night Terrors looks horrifying. Too scary for me to play. My kids however…would play it and never sleep again – of course I gave ’em $5

If you want one of Fineline’s boxes, and who doesn’t, follow them on Facebook. They notify you when the boxes are placed on Etsy and are ready for purchase. I have been trying to get one for the past 3 months, and this is the only way I came close. They sell VERY quickly!

A druid garden that doesn’t include an oak and mistletoe? Crazy!
I loooove that Frock Flicks blog. I’m always looking out for costuming in movies. I’m probably really annoying about pointing it out to my friends too. Now I can bitch and rave to people who care!
