MEET NECROKRAKEN

Thanks to the amazing votes from our Spillwords Community in Monster Lab, we’ve created our very own Halloween Monster: NecroKraken! Dive into the spooky details and click on NecroKraken’s photo above to enlarge and admire our community’s creation.

The name combines ‘Necro’ (representing death and the undead through the skeleton ribcage and vampire wings) with ‘Kraken’ (depicting the tentacled sea monster). It encapsulates the dark, mythical, and fearsome essence of the creature.

Lou Storey

A textbook example of nominative determinism, Lou Storey has always been a storyteller, a fact well illustrated in his art and in his writing. His careers have reflected that as well, first as a creator of idea-based exhibitions for museums, and later as a psychotherapist employing narrative therapies. His art and his writing share qualities of rich texture and detail, examining our capacity to be absurd while allowing a measure of forgiveness for our foibles. Storey and his husband Steve retired in 2021 and moved from New Jersey to Savannah Georgia. “We love everything about Savannah, it is like a city that looks like a park and thinks it’s a small town. Best of all, we can grow bananas in the backyard!”

Treats Only, Please! by Lauren Scott

Creepy cackles from tall, looming trees
startle their jumpy heartbeats as they walk.
Shadows discreetly follow the echoes
while they timidly proceed down the block.

Young voices repeat with conviction,
“It’s just a night for entertainment.”
There’s no need for goosebumps and fear
as their eyes focus on the cracked pavement.

Undeniably sensing they’re not alone,
many follow in their hesitant footsteps,
eager to reach doors and push doorbells
but afraid of frightening special effects....
