And so the pumpkin carving contest is\u00a0complete<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Six entries total. And I promise you: this is a very hard decision on my part.<\/p>\n

Check out the entries, which I’ve named (the name of the entry is above each photo):<\/p>\n

“The Uber-Zombie.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“Cernunnos’ Cage”<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“The Zombie Pigman”<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“Typewriter Eyes”<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“The Penmonkey”<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“The Blighted”<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(For a bonus version of the Penmonkey one — here’s a shot of it glowing<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.)<\/p>\n

These are all very exciting, obviously. I mean, I want to vote for them all and cover them in kisses (WHAT SHUT UP I CAN MAKE OUT WITH A PUMPKIN IF I WANNA.) Just the same, everybody can’t be winners (unless it’s elementary school), and so I have chosen —<\/p>\n

*drum roll*<\/p>\n

“Cernunnos’ Cage!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s both a killer pumpkin and a cool-ass photo. (Love the way the light reflects on the book.) And it depicts a whole scene\u00a0straight out of the book<\/em>, which is a win.<\/p>\n

So, that’s my winner.<\/p>\n

It is the pumpkin of Melanie Weisberg, aka Rattify<\/strong><\/span><\/a> from the Twitters.<\/p>\n

Melanie, you win a big ol’ stack of books from me. So: I’ll email you! Congrats!<\/p>\n

NOW, it is your turn to vote for a winner.<\/p>\n

Drop a comment below and vote for your favorite (excluding Melanie’s “Cernunnos’ Cage,” as she already won once!) — the second prize winner gets three Miriam Black e-books, including a copy of the newest, The Cormorant<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

To vote: just put the name of your favorite pumpkin entry in the comments.<\/p>\n

Again: do not vote for Cernunnos’ Cage.<\/p>\n

The others are fair game<\/em>.<\/p>\n

EDIT: Voting ends at midnight tonight!<\/p>\n

VOTE AWAY.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
