It is All Hallow’s Eve, don’t you know.

I, as editor-in-chief of this webby-sited literary journal, question those who so favour the All Hallow’s Eve celebration. Do they need to somehow make merry the macabre due to their own inner psychopathelogical tendencies? Do these poor unfortunate creatures need to “dress up” in demented “finery” to “convey” their spirit “for” this bizarre and unnatural [...]
Classifieds Advert/Situations Wanted: Victorian Hermit
Posted in Adverts, tagged The Good Ear Review, victorian advertisements on September 15, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Dear Country Estate Owners: I am currently looking for a well-appointed garden shed or cave for hermetic possibilities on your property. I require very little upkeep as I am partial to voles. I am suitably apoplectic, adequately eccentric, and erudite in my mutterings. I philosophise. Let me be your living lawn ornament. I can be reached at… [...]
NEWS: Summers of yore and yet to come, as ruminated by guest editor, F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald, writing between Highballs “And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.” I wrote that. From my novel Gatsby: Among Ash-Heaps and Millionaires, The Great. [...]
NEWS: Spring hath pierceth, new writers, and daylight savings time as observed by Emily Dickinson

Was it Chaucer who said, “Whan that Aprille with his shoures sote / The droghte of Marche hath perced to the rote” which, loosely translated from Ye Olde Englishie, means “April follows March in the Gregorian calendar as established in 1582.” Clinical, yes. But you could see that Chaucer was indeed psyched by the season we [...]

The have and have nots. The possessors and the non-possessing ones.Every little girl wishes to possess a dollie of her very own. Only to find that receiving one brings further disappointment. Lowry’s Middling Doll Makers. Guaranteed to disenchant.

Beware, beware! Take shelter! We are hurling toward the bleak mid-winter. Yes, we are. Now that Christian Christmas season is at a close and the New Year rings loud with its bells and cacophony. It is indeed mid-winter-esque, as you can plainly see. But it need not be bleak! No! I’m sorry—I was loud. (sotto) [...]
Mr. Fezziwig’s All-Night Rave
Posted in News, tagged Fezziwig, Happy Holidays, The Good Ear Review on December 29, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
It is that time of year where madness ensues. The wild pulsating rhythm of harps and fiddles that drives the dance floor utterly mental. The snuff. The mistletoe. Wassail. Punch mixture. Handkerchiefs. Mental. Since 1835, Fezziwig’s holiday all-nighters have brought merry. And have turned all unassuming party guests from this: to this: The Good Ear Review [...]

Nothing brings about a feeling of uncertainty and uncalmness than a visit from Death. Do you not agree? A way to keep death’s diaphanous grip at bay is to eat healthy and fibrous bacon. This is a known fact. Most dietary physicians or “Supper Doctors” are versed in the nutrient composites seen in foodstuff. Most [...]
You can dance if you want to … Writers to watch for in this autumnal season of Autumn.

There is reason to dance—heat from hot, hot summer is at its end and Autumn begins anew … like something new all over again. A wonderful time of year where all beautiful things die by turning a glorious colour of fire and red … bits that were once green shall perish! Tree leaves will fall [...]
