Halloween has come and gone, but Autumn is still a great time for a ghostly scare. I love to hear a good ghost story, especially while gathered around a campfire. Who doesnβt? I thought I would share a few of my very favorite Short Stories of Horror.

7 Bildungsroman Books You Must Read in 2026
In the vast landscape of literature, few genres capture the essence of human growth as poignantly as the bildungsroman. Derived from the German words βbildungβ (education or formation) and βromanβ (novel), a bildungsroman chronicles the psychological, moral, and emotional development of its protagonist from youth to adulthood. These stories resonate because they mirror our own journeysβfull of trials, triumphs, mistakes, and revelations. Whether you are a seasoned reader or new to this genre, exploring these novels allows us to reflect on identity, purpose, and the intricate process of becoming ourselves.

ROCK*s EDGY WINNERS
See that rainbow? Let there be lots of gold, good health and peace for us all. ROCK is so pleased with your entries; it was tough so I called in a PhD. of Library Science from New Zealand, a well read and published professor of poetry from Canada as well as some random/anonymous readers from L.A., NYC, USA and all the way to Lisbon, London plus other EU friends from all walks of life. I, of course, made the final decision which was extremely difficult. I wish I had the pot of gold to give you all a decent tip!
