Cloaks And Scams

Some really cool cloaks started popping up on Instagram during the Halloween season.  They popped up again today.  Apparently, they're from a crooked company based in China and all the images are AI generated.  The items are incredibly inexpensive for something that looks so neat (the first clue that they were bogus).  I'm totally not endorsing for obvious reasons but felt compelled to post the images as they're pretty neat.  And to warn folks that the company is fraudulent.  So, if you ever see a company called Exikou, please beware.

My cloak-wearing days will have to wait until a legitimate company starts making stuff like this.  I'd wear that third one down to work for sure.

The Nameless City

And as the wind died away I was plunged into the ghoul-peopled blackness of earth’s bowels; for behind the last of the creatures the great brazen door clanged shut with a deafening peal of metallic music whose reverberations swelled out to the distant world to hail the rising sun as Memnon hails it from the banks of the Nile.

Perception

When I first saw this photo, I tried to imagine how creepy those figures would be at night. VERY neat to have all of those cloaked beings standing together. I thought, "Some kind of Coven making that headless guy stalk and suffer and terrorize." Then I clicked on the photo to save it and saw the file name: HeadBowling.jpg

I was WAYYYY off. .
