THE PARTY

DOLORES CLAIBORNE and her two daughters, CARRIE and CHRISTINE had all been invited to a Halloween Dinner Party. IT was in the scary part of town, known locally as THE DEAD ZONE, so they were a little apprehensive about accepting the invitation. However, the party was sponsored by a local charitable organization, HEARTS IN ATLANTIS, whose main purpose was to find heart donors for those who needed transplants. “Sounds like a good cause, and also a chance to see the BLACK HOUSE. I’ve always been curious about that place,” thought Dolores.

“Who wants to go shopping?“ asked Dolores. The girls replied, “We’d rather stay home playing our favorite video games, CREEPSHOW and FIRESTARTER“…..“And, don’t forget candy for SCARY, SCARY HALLOWEEN!!” reminded Christine and Carrie.

Dolores stopped by WolfMart to pick up a few NEEDFUL THINGS, including a BAG OF BONES for their dog, CUJO, and some yarn so the girls could make DREAMCATCHERs. She was surprised to see the New York Times Best Seller, THINNER, by diet guru, ROSE MADDER, already out in paperback. “I’ve been meaning to pick that up,” thought Dolores. I’ll let that be my IMPULSE purchase for today.”

“I’d better check out the costume aisle,” thought Dolores. “We’ll need costumes for the party. They had a pretty good selection--Devils, WITCHES, PUMPKINS, AND GRINNING GHOSTS. Dolores thought THE WITCHES would be fun and easy to do, so she picked up three witches hats, some green makeup for their faces, and some striped socks in the hosiery section. We all have black dresses and black shoes. That should do it!!”

“Uh! Oh!….Almost forgot the candy!!” said Dolores to herself. “THE TOMMYKNOCKERS are favorites of ours, but some kids are allergic to peanuts, so I’ll just stick with the plain DARK VISIONS chocolate bars, and a pack of TALTOS for myself to keep my breath minty fresh”

The next evening the Claibornes all jumped into their Witch costumes and headed out to the party. They were greeted at the door of the BLACK HOUSE by their host. “Allow me to introduce myself he said, “I am MEMNOCH THE DEVIL. We are honored that you could be our dinner guests for tonight. I need to just make a few last minute preparations in the dining room. Until then, why don’t you just mingle with the other guests. Get acquainted!!”

Dolores was awe struck by how aristocratic all the other guests appeared, although in a sort of “other worldly” way. Their costumes all looked so authentic--nothing like the witch get-ups she had put together for herself and the girls. “I’ll bet they don’t shop at WolfMart!!” she thought to herself.

“Oh, well!“ Dolores thought, “Memnoch told us to get acquainted.” She approached one of the women and said, “Hi, I’m Dolores, and these are my two daughters Christine and Carrie.”

She replied, “I am Akasha, THE QUEEN OF THE DAMNED, and this is my friend, PANDORA. Let us take you around and introduce you to the others. This is THE VAMPIRE LESTAT, and THE VAMPIRE ARMAND, and last, but not least, VITTORIO THE VAMPIRE.” The men all bowed, and took our hands and kissed them.

“Wow,” said Carrie. “I’ve never had my hand kissed before. You guys are too much!!” Lestat replied, “And, now you must allow us to escort you into the dining room. Memnoch has given me the signal.” The three vampires each offered the Claibornes an arm and escorted them into the dining room. Akasha and THE MUMMY, OR RAMSES THE DAMNED, and Pandora and Dr. FRANKENSTEIN followed behind.

As soon as we entered the dining room, Lestat, Armand and Vittorio lifted the Claibornes, and handed them off to the SKELETON CREW, who immediately strapped them down to three tables.

“What’s going on??” demanded Dolores. “I thought we were invited here for a dinner party.” Memnoch said, “Ah! Yes! So you were--what you didn’t realize is that you are the dinner!!”

“But the invitations said this party was sponsored by HEARTS IN ATLANTIS, whose main purpose was to find heart donors for those who needed transplants!!” protested Dolores. Memnoch replied, “And, that is why Dr. Frankenstein is here. He will remove your hearts for some projects he is working on, and the rest of us will enjoy what is left.”

The party ended at FOUR PAST MIDNIGHT!!

When I was only twelve, I was the SOLE SURVIVOR of an awful tragedy that left me ONE DOOR AWAY FROM HEAVEN. THE HUSBAND of my biological mother was killed outright in the tragic accident and my mother and my BROTHER, ODD, died on the way to the hospital. My LIFE EXPECTANCY was very short right after the accident, and I was in a coma for a very long time. On THE DARKEST EVENING OF THE YEAR, WHILE LIGHTENING lit up the sky with great INTENSITY, I came out of my coma. Just after DARKFALL the next night, BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON, I learned the details of the accident that SHATTERED my life.

Naturally as a young boy, I was devastated. I heard the WHISPERS about the CHASE that led to the accident, but no one ever told me the whole story. I still have A DARKNESS IN MY SOUL and spend my life driving STRANGE HIGHWAYS looking for something, but I don’t know what it is. I FEAR NOTHING now but the TICKTOCK of life’s clock hoping I will find a purpose before my time is up. STRANGERS have helped me during my journey many times, but none has been able to remove me from THE BAD PLACE I have been since that night or remove THE MASK of sorrow from my face. But there is no HIDEAWAY that will protect me either, so I will continue to search for an answer alone under THE WINTER MOON at ODD HOURS until my purpose is clear.

All of these books are by Dean Koontz (my favorite living author). “The Darkest Evening of the Year” will be published on 27 November 2007, and “Odd Hours” will be published in April 2008.

I see the nose has cleared up but now you have an eye patch. Did Kitty poke you in the eye or is that for Halloween?

Ever had one of those days when toddler books are stuck on your brain? I didn't mind when it was "KNUFFLE BUNNY" since that's a great book, an award winner, and my toddler's bedtime story. I didn't mind when it was "GREEN EGGS AND HAM" either, since that's one of my own childhood favorite and I could already almost quote it verbatim. I didn't even mind when it was "WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE" by Sendak. Again, it's award-winning, it was one of my childhood favorites, and the pictures are more than entertaining.

But recently we put the books where our toddler can bring them to us to read. Along with that, we got many "new" board books from a helpful friend. I've discovered that I just can't hack having Maisy stuck in my brain. "MAISY PLAYS" and "COUNT WITH MAISY" were bad enough, but "MAISY AND THE FIRE TRUCK" was the last straw. After the twentieth time in a row of reading it, I can quote it word for word whether I want to or not, and I'm more than sick of the scared black cat getting rescued via fire truck ladder without anything else to talk about throughout the book.

I tried to distract him with Curious George, Blue's Clues, Sesame Street - all to no avail. Outside didn't appeal, and a library visit was met with even less zeal. So I guess until he tires of Maisy and the red fire truck, I'm stuck!
