As a kid growing up in a small southern New Hampshire town, Halloween was easily the Air Chief’s second favorite holiday after Christmas.  Come on, who wouldn’t like a holiday that allowed us kids to go to a complete strangers house, knock on the door and ask for FREE candy? Ha. For many, many years, the Air Chief and his siblings so looked forward to what we then called Beggar’s Night, now more PC correct with Trick or Treat night. There was no way our folks could afford store-bought costumes, in fact there were none of those as we recall. So inventive mothers did their best. What the Air Chief remembers most importantly is instead of paper bags, Mom gave us old pillow cases and that’s what we collected our loot in. Honestly, the Air Chief can remember coming home after only a few hours roaming the streets with his pillow case weight a ton…or so it seemed that way to an 8 yr old. Then dumping that candy all over the kitchen table, our eyes as wide as silver dollars.  Of course Mom allowed us to have one or two pieces and then that was it, off to bed.  No sick stomachs in our house late at night. Ha. God this holiday brings back such amazing and wonderful memories.

And what is Halloween without some horror movies …or better yet, horror inspired pulp titles. We at Airship 27 Productions are truly thrilled to be offering up, for your fright fest, the second volume of brand new stories featuring the most bizarre, horrifying pulp avenger of them all, the Purple Scar. This new volume has stories by Gene Moyers, David Noe, Erik Franklin and Paul Findley, with art (both on interior illustrations and the amazing cover above) by Marco Santiago. Believe, when the Air Chief says there was never another pulp hero like the Purple Scar, he is giving you the straight out truth.  This horrific gem is now available at Amazon in both paperback and soon on Kindle.  As ever, thanks so much for you continued support, Loyal Airmen. We couldn’t do this without you.

Finally another treat for Halloween to all you Loyal Airmen.  Radio Archives has just released our third Brother Bones audio book – Brother Bones Tapestry of Blood as read by the amazing J. Scott Bennett.  You can download it from (www.audible.com) and listen to it on All Hallow’s Eve.  How’s that for being particularly pulp creepy.  Ha.  As ever, thanks for dropping by and have fun Trick or Treating.

Ron – Over & Out!
