The New York
Grimpendium: New York's reputation for Fall colors and spookiness ain't too shabby
either. It's the home of the Headless Horseman and the Hudson Valley, for
goodness’ sake. I've got more than 250 sites for you in this one to make your
New York Fall more orange and black.
Poe-Land: The Hallowed
Haunts of Edgar Allan Poe: One of our patron saints of Halloween, and a man who
mysteriously died in the month of October, this book takes you with me as
I search out the sites and artifacts across seven states and two countries that
keep Poe alive to thrive in the Spooky Season.
A Season with the
Witch: The Magic and Mayhem of Halloween in Salem: This book has Halloween in
the subtitle! If you're making the inevitable pilgrimage to Salem, MA, this
season, this book can get you ready. If you’re not, this book can take you
there by itself no matter where you are in the world.
Death and Douglas: So
you want fiction fit for the Fall. This is the one. It's got graveyards, a monster,
an odd child, the nostalgia of childhood capers, and it takes place over the
course of a New England Fall and climaxes on Halloween night. It also mostly
takes place in an old funeral home.
Twelve Nights at
Rotter House: This one will be hot-cider off the presses come October, and you
can preorder it now (please do!!). Two horror fans spend two weeks in a haunted
house. It’s a simple of a premise perfect for an atmospheric reading
experience in between watching Halloween specials.
