The time has come to frolic through the autumn horrorland of the blogosphere. Yes, the time has come, again, for the Coffin Hop! In case you’re unfamiliar with it, the Coffin Hop is an annual blog hop of indie horror writers doing posts on Halloween, enjoying the festivities of fall, and giving away free books and other prizes.

Today’s the kickoff, but tomorrow Pandora’s Pen really begins the week’s fun: here you’ll find a short story about ancient curses, mummies, and the Wizard of Oz; contests where you can win a signed paperback copy of PANDORA and a collector’s sampler of the forthcoming Coffin Hop anthology, Death By Drive-In; photos from this year’s pumpkin carving; and more!

Don’t forget to hop to all the other participating blogs: you can find the full list (complete with links!) right over here. Everyone’s got exciting things planned for this week. Happy Coffin Hopping!
