I figured it might be nice to get some reader input on a post for this upcoming Halloween. Any particularly spooky Arthurian tales you want to hear about? Obscure figures that may be hiding kernels of truth? Drop a comment and let me know. Last year I released one of my favorite articles I’ve written so far, looking at Preiddeu Annwfn, Arthur’s trip to the underworld. It was a little late for Halloween, but this year I hope to get one out just in time. Let me know your suggestions!
