The cover of Crow Toes Quarterly says: Great Reading for Sleepless Nights. I couldn’t agree with this more. If you haven’t been introduced to CTQ, you’re really missing out on something special. The artistic prowess of this little magazine screams of something so huge, but is contained so beautifully in such a little package. It’s amazing. Just amazing. Every issue is prefaced by an editorial by ‘Your Humble Narrator’, with topics ranging from the CTQ staff’s love of the Fall season, to the ability that a short story has to take you places that you’ve never been before. By far my favorite part of the whole CTQ series, the Narrator adds that little bit of insight into the imagination and creativity that goes into each publication. Never before have I seen such incredible quality in a magazine for children, let alone one dedicated to scary stories and poems. Crow Toes certainly does set the bar at an awe inspiring level. Art-wise, volumes 1 - 14 feature pieces by many different artists, but it’s the seventh issue - the cover depicting a solemn looking little blonde girl - by artist Kristian Adam - entitled DEER HEAD, that really speaks to me. The picture is at both times terrifyingly creepy and endearingly beautiful, giving it the ability to create an uncomfortable yet gorgeous atmosphere. Yeah...I like art. Can you tell?

It's that time again! Time to talk about our photo contest, that is. You may recall us mentioning it just as we were gearing up for October:
To recap, the rules are simple: Just send us your favourite picture of yourself as a kid on Halloween (or of your own kids!). Send it to our email at [email protected] with 'photo contest' in the subject line and include a few lines telling us the who/what/when. Easy! Plus you get all the fun nostalgic goodness of digging through your old pictures...
And if nostalgia's not enough to motivate you, there's also the matter of the awesome prizes you could win! Here they are:
The first prize package includes:
A piece of original artwork by the amazingly talented Chris Zenga
A year's subscription to the Crow Toes Quarterly ezine
And this incredibly adorable, fully reversible trick-or-treating bag from Baby's 1st Boo:
Can there ever be enough love toward this fiendishly good morsel of a magazine! I think not!
