"Midnights in October" by Patricia Bossano is a must read for all poetry lovers. This small collection of poems is like having Hamlet, Shakespeare, and Edgar Allan Poe all in one room. Each poem has a different vibe. Some are dark and emotional. They speak of justice, woe, and bravery. Every page has a unique flavor. Words are not wasted. Titles perfectly fit each poem. Patricia Bossano once more has lit a poetic fire in this reader. Her talent ever shining and gives a thirst for more reads. I cannot wait to see what she delivers next. I highly recommend this quick but well-written collection to all.

Midnights in October is such a delightfully imaginative and enchanting concept. Bossano captured the spirit of October with a literary magic that invites readers to both create and be charmed by the power of words.
What makes this collection so captivating is how it transforms storytelling into a ritual, fifty-five words at a time. Each micro-fable feels like a spark of energy, conjuring transformation, creativity, and reflection in perfect harmony with the season’s mystique. This book will strongly resonate with readers who enjoy flash fiction, poetry, and literary challenges. Halloween and autumn enthusiasts seeking a new kind of seasonal ritual, and writers’ groups and creative circles looking for inspiring prompts and community engagement.

I just finished reading about Maité and her Cradle Gift, and I have to admit, I think Bossano's faeries might’ve worked some subtle magic on me. Between the dream-traveling, grief, and the tug-of-war between Nahia and the Beautiful One, I was completely pulled in.
Bossano has done something rare: written fantasy that feels both cosmic and personal. I loved how she wove loss, identity, and friendship into something that still sparkles with wonder. That’s not easy to pull off.

Bossano’s prose is poetic and evocative, filled with warmth, nostalgia, and an honest reverence for the immigrant experience. The characters are vivid and deeply human, and Maggie’s journey feels both personal and universal. Her strength doesn’t come from grand gestures but from enduring love, unwavering loyalty, and the ability to bloom where she is planted—even when the soil shifts beneath her feet.
Love & Homegrown Magic is a heartfelt tribute to mothers, daughters, and the invisible ties that bind us. For readers who appreciate stories rooted in tradition, touched by destiny, and carried by love, this novel will leave a lasting impression.

There’s something beautifully enchanting about the way Bossano merges language, rhythm, and mystique into fifty-five-word fables that feel like nightly spells whispered into the autumn air. It’s not just clever writing; it’s a creative ritual that feels personal and poetic, the kind of concept that book lovers absolutely devour in group discussions.
The work radiates that “crafted with intention” energy that reminds readers why words still matter. Honestly, this isn’t just a seasonal read it’s an invitation to slow down, reflect, and connect through the magic of words. And the timing? Perfect. October is your stage!

The moment I stepped into Maité’s world, I was swept away, your writing has a quiet, dreamlike power that lingers long after the last page. From the prologue’s veil-crossing to the emotional ache of Maité’s loss and awakening, the story unfolds like a living myth, personal, poetic, and otherworldly.
The Faerie Legacy series strikes that rare balance between lyrical fantasy and emotional truth. Maité’s journey, touched by fate, grief, and the mystery of her Cradle Gift, felt like reading a whispered secret meant just for me. I especially appreciated how you wove in themes of friendship, belonging, and ancestral purpose without ever losing the magic.

It is an eerie, fun, one-page-a-night delight! Give one to friends to read together for a cool
October tradition.

“Midnights in October - eerie nightly escapes, by Patricia Bossano is a delightful descent into eerie madness. Each of the fantastical, scintillating vignettes, is a wicked little gem—disturbing, thought-provoking, and just the right amount of jarring. These deliciously creepy, clever tales are perfect for those October nights when the shadows seem to have a mind of their own. Prepare yourself for a thrilling chill! I myself, was not prepared; I'd never read such a thing. I couldn't put it down... I read it with my mouth hanging open in awe and had to keep shoving snacks in to soothe myself. Unsettling, delicious, and fabulously original is how I would describe this latest endeavor by the indomitable and prolific author Patricia Bossano!” —Sherry Hogg, author of Child of Mine

“A mysterious sparkle on the horizon of the gloaming, haunting, enchanting, and thought-provoking. A must-read for those craving sprinkles of magic throughout the day to escape the nerve-racking and mundane.” —V. G. Anderson, author of The Light in the Sound

“Take a handful of candy corn, dear reader, and be "swallowed whole" in Bossano's Midnights in October: eerie nightly escapes. You are forewarned, though you may "wear skepticism like a shield," in 55 words or fewer, Bossano will "turn you from the joyous light," sending you through a "labyrinth of recollections," chased by the "clacking of bone-on-bone," leaving you "all but devoured" in her "fatal, inky gawk."” —Shea Robinson, author of Dance with Me

“I loved it. I've read it 3 times now, each time I seem to read it from a different point of view, coming to a different conclusion about the meaning behind the words. The first time I thought it was political, then when I re-read it, it was about female power and strength. The third time, I felt the magic. To say this piece of work is thoughtful is an understatement, as the reader, our own imagination can run riot. Spellbinding.” —Karen Lott, ARC reader

“A candle flickers in the dark; shadows whisper fragments of stories lost to time. In this spectral collection, Patricia Bossano crafts fleeting glimpses into the supernatural, each fifty-five words or less, yet powerful enough to linger long after the final syllable fades. Read carefully! These flashes of the uncanny may refuse to let you go.” —Vince Font, Chief Editor, Glass Spider Publishing

There is so much wisdom on every page, and it's the kind of knowledge that women of a certain age (like me) will benefit greatly from.
I learned so much about my own body that I had to wonder how I got to be nearly 60 without even suspecting some of these things.
What a way to rock my world, Kimberly, as soon as I was done reading it I scheduled an appointment with a (bioidentical) hormone replacement therapy provider. Thank you so much for writing this book!
This fabulous Book is also available in Spanish “El Buen Sexo Nunca Pasa De Moda

El Legado de Nahia, el tercer tomo de la serie El Legado de las Hadas, profundiza en una suntuosa historia multigeneracional sobre relaciones familiares, pérdidas, identidad y el eterno tira y afloja entre el mundo místico de las hadas y la fuerza primordial de la dimensión humana. La escritura es exuberante, poética por momentosy sorprendentemente realista por otros. Bossano no rehúye el lirismo, pero nunca resulta pretencioso. —Literary Titan

Bossano demuestra que la fantasía no necesita construcciones elaboradas para crear asombro. El país de las hadas existe en la periferia de nuestro propio mundo y lo percibimos a través de nuestros sentidos en lugar de portales mágicos o habilidades especiales: es un recordatorio de la magia que existe más allá de las impresiones cotidianas. — RW Magazine
