We're busy working on our costumes and gearing up for Halloween here in the LRC, but what excites me most about this holidays isn't the costumes or the candy--it's the scary stories! If you'd like to celebrate with a ghastly ghost story, a wonderful witch tale, or a zany zombie antics stop by the LRC to grab a book from one of our displays.
You can also find a selection of our Halloween books over at our pinterest page.
If you'd like to do more than just read scary stories, consider taking part in the new Halloween tradition of All Hallow's Read. To celebrate just give out scary books this Halloween to delight and terrify your friends. Author Neil Gaiman explains the tradition in the video below:
For more information, visit the All Hallow's Read site where you can find book recommendations and extras including a mini book of the poem The Raven for you to print out.
If you don't have time to read a whole scary book, take a break to read a pulse-pumping poem! Poets.org has a selection of Halloween poems along with poet costume ideas (Dress as William Carlos Williams and push a red wheelbarrow full of candy), poets' graves to visit, and ideas for a poetry themed haunted house.
So this Halloween, treat your mind as well as your sweet tooth and stop by the LRC to grab a book!
