A Lost Land of Neverland · Harvest-moon dusk

Halloween Hollow

Friendly spooky. The lanterns are lit and the cider is hot.

A painterly souvenir-map illustration of an autumn Halloween village street at dusk, crooked clapboard shopfronts with painted signboards for Jackie Pumpkin's Five and Dime and the Jack-o'-Lantern Arcade, a covered bridge at the end of the lane, and the Harvest Moon Inn on the hill beneath a huge orange harvest moon.

Leaves drift ankle-deep down a crooked clapboard street where every porch is stacked with carved pumpkins and every window glows amber. Scarecrows keep watch at both ends of the lane, bats loop across a huge orange moon, and past the great black oak the covered bridge waits with its lantern already burning.
