Parties are my pride and joy and as we look ahead to the holiday season, I wanted to share my tips to help you become the most horrifying host ever.
1
Create a curiously crusty charcuterie board
Nothing says ‘ghoulish and ghastly’ like a spooky spread. Just cover your table in cobwebs and ensure you cater for every creature with a selection of homemade horror d’oeuvres. My favourites include honey-roasted maggots, severed fingers on sticks and smoked slug
Macabre music is a must
Nothing says ‘party’ more than music. I prefer to book a band but you’re still guaranteed a good time if you set-up some terrifying tunes on your DiePhone.
3 Turn it into a tradition
Make your party an annual event and it’ll soon become a fangtastic tradition. Just make sure you teach your little darklings the ropes so that they can carry it on after you.

Florence’s Book Review
“I FINK THIS SERIES IS BRILLIANT!
MARNIE
MIDNIGHT AND HER FRIENDS ARE ALL REALLY CUTE AND TINY AND THEY GO ON LOTS OF FUN AND AMAZING ADVENTURES!”
Dear Readers,
In this edition of Nocturnia News we’re looking at how to get through a challenging situation. For example, if you’re having a bad hair day OR if you’re BORED TO DEATH.
STEP 1: Close your eyes
STEP 2: Take a deep breath
STEP 3: Repeat after me: ‘At least I have my eyelid cream with me.’
If you don’t have eyelid cream, you should get some. If you don’t know which brand to choose, I can recommend a great one. Just write to me c/o Nocturnia News and I’d be happy to answer any questions you have. Until next time!
