#Currently reading #TheSupernaturalReader #Octoberween, First story: The Angel with The Purple Hair - by #HerbPaul
It was between the dark and the daylight, when the folks up about Fiftyfifth and Fifth are accustomed to stir about in a spirit of restlessness, and she came walking into the dim-lit hush-plush of the Mabuhay Club, slim and lovely in a clinging business of gold lame, and she whipped the ghost of a smile over Craig Gordon’s new dinner jacket with its fresh carnation. Then she expertly folded her wings and slid gracefully into the upholstered corner where Craig puts strangers whom he hasn’t quite sized up, and as her beautiful head went by the carnation, Craig could see that her hair was a pale purple, and he could smell that it smelled of dew on spring roses. She smiled up at him, gently, and then he decided to take a breath.

An odd #Fantasy #Romance about an angel and test pilot, that perhaps for the time period, #1950s, feels like it could have been adapted into an original Twilight Zone episode.
