Nothing wicked here except this jam...

Sorry to do this to you, Creepsters, but I fear the Christmas season has taken a hold on me and this is what I'm listening to tonight.  (There does seem to be some sort of monster in this video though, does that count?)  Anyways, I promise to make jolly for the next week or two and get it out of my system in time for the new year and I will be back with more wickedness than you can handle.
Until then...

Season Update

I have been busy and absorbed in the holiday season.

Too much shopping and baking and wrapping and decking the halls 

has forced me to take a break from my writing.  

I am not happy about it, but I am enjoying this time with loved ones.

I hope you, too, get to enjoy the holiday season.

Much love and merriest of wishes,

❤Deevious

This is a solid remake.

Stubborn Love

I have always been a fan of the Lumineers and I guess that's why I'm jamming to this tune on #MusicMonday.  Now, I know my blog at Night Lights focuses on the darker side of things, but what isn't immediately clear, is my love of the darkness AND the light - because they go hand in hand; because you can't have one without the other.  So, in order to appreciate the darkness - every now and then - I like to let in some light; some happy...
Enjoy...

Thinking of You

I wrote this for my sister.
She was always such a fan of my writing, and although she didn't always understand the darkness behind it, she fully supported me and encouraged me to continue with this gift.
Thank you, Kim.
Thank you for the love.
I pushed the darkness aside for a moment.
This one's for you....




Angel of the Skies

I know you've got your angel wings
And you're flying around doing angel things
Ushering in everything the day brings...

But I miss you.

Image found here

I know you're up there in that night sky,

With your twinkle and your sparkle and a watchful eye
Pulling the shade down and raising that moon up high...

But I miss you.

Find image here

I know you're all around me, I can smell you upon the breeze;

And I know you still speak to me, because I hear your whisper through the trees;

And I can feel your love raging up a storm and like the rain, it puts me at ease...

But I miss you.

       You are my sun and my moon and my stars.

For the Love of Books...

I LOVE BOOKS!

I have to shout it.
I have to brag about it.

 I love to read them.

I love to write them.

I love the smell of them.
I love the places that they take me.
I love the memories that they leave.
I love it when a new story unfolds in me and finds its way to the paper.
I love my pen and my ink.
I love my computer and my keyboard.
I love my chapter and my page.
I love my fan and my follower.
I love my nightmares and my dreams.

For all of this, I am blessed.
I am complete.

Thank you, Creepsters.
Thank you for being here.

Darker Things

I worry about you at night...
Cuz when the moon comes out
all your demons come to light...




I heard this one for the first time over the weekend and immediately fell in love with it.
The words are poetry and the tune is haunting and her voice is magic.
Creepsters?   Do you agree?  Can you give Lily a like?

Paid In Full

Thank you for my ears
that can hear a bird's song -
the breeze through the trees -
the voices in my head.

Thank you for my eyes
that can see a sunlit morn -
the full moon in its sky -
the shadows in the corners of my room.

Thank you for my slumber
the comfort of my bed -
the softness of my pillow -
the nightmares that call me home.

Thank you for my ghosts
the ones that haunt my days -
the others that visit my nights -
the ones that summon me into the darkness
that choke me without reason
that slash me without razors
that own me without title.

Thank you that their will be done.
And, that now, my payment is none.

My Ramblings Have Reason...

As I write
As I type
I feel the darkness getting light

I let it know
I let it flow
And make the words up as I go

And they oblige
And through their lies
I get to say my own goodbyes

To another time
To another rhyme
To another voice that haunts my mind.

Creep It Real...

Keep Halloween in your hearts, Creepsters.

And do not let the Christmas music get to you...

Engaged to a Ghost

The title of today's post sounds more like a great work of fiction than a news story, 

but fact is always stranger than fiction, is it not?

It involves a woman who claims to not only have had sex with a few ghosts, 

but is also preparing to marry one.  

Read her story and watch the interview HERE AT HUFFPOST.

And comment your reaction below.

We want to know what you think about the story...

My Kind Of Princess...

This is just a taste of the cool and wicked tattooed art that I came across on my newsfeed.

I love the detail and the twist on an old idea.

November's Evil Read

This month, Evil's Library is getting another wicked read added to their shelves. 

The Apartment by S.L. Grey is an incredible journey of darkness and terror.

 It is a chilling account of what happens when you come face to face with your demons.

And rumor has it that Steven Spielberg has picked up this story for film adaptation.

(I cannot wait to check it out on the big screen as well.)

Read this novel and let me know your thoughts on it, Creepsters.

Let me know if it gave you a scare too.

I cannot express how much I love Halloween.

I know that if you're part of our community here, then, you too, are a fan of this spooktacular event.

I want to wish you all a magical and fun and haunting Halloween.

Whatever it is you'll be doing today and tonight, I hope it's fangtastic.

Go out there and enjoy it.

Or stay home and curl up with a horror movie or scary story.

Take part in this once-a-year celebration as only you can.

And have a great time, Creepsters.

Be safe and watch out for the darkness.

Mwahahahahahaha

Cursed

Creepsters, this is one of my favorite shorts that I wrote about a girl named Anna and a curse that took hold of her at birth.  It is a great scary story for this time of year.  I hope you'll enjoy the journey. I hope you enjoy the haunting...

night lights cast shadows: Cursed: Anna Weston was awkward. Always had been. Always had that black cloud swarming about her head. Ever since anyone could...
