Bedtime Story for October -- "Nightmare Touch" (Patreon)

Happy Halloween!👻

"Nightmare Touch" was one of the first stories I ever read by Lafcadio Hearn and it really stuck with me. The description of how he used to be locked into a dark room at night as a child...it brings back all those memories, I'm sure, we all have. The part about trying to pry his eyes open to see, I still have that. Lafcadio is special though. His ghosts always had the same form. He mentions they looked like Orfila's Traité des Exhumés. Below is a photo for reference. So keep that in mind when he describes what they do at night when no one is around!
