The hierophant by Mark Ciocco : I guess its a little corny to post a story I wrote, but its Halloween and I like to give everyone a spooky story to read… I wrote this story several years ago as an homage to H.P. Lovecraft (specifically, the story Pickman’s Model, which also dealt with a strange artist…) I cringed a couple of times while reading it, because I am certainly no H.P. Lovecraft, but it held up better than I thought it would, so posted it in its original form. Someday, I may revise it, but this will have to do for now…
