Books that go Bump in the Night

It's the library's favorite time of year again. . . Halloween! Halloween has been closely linked to librarians as their favorite holiday for years, in case you didn't know.

So to start the season off right, here's a list of 10 great books to read before Halloween:

*Halloween: From Pagan Ritual to Party Night, by Nicholas Rogers
*Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, by Gregory McGuire
*Interview with the Vampire, by Anne Rice
*The Graveyard Book, by Neil Gaiman
*The Best of Poe: The Tale-Tell heart, The Raven, The Cask of Amontillado and 30 others
*A Stir of Echoes, by Richard Matheson
*The Exorcist, by William Peter Blattey
*Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley
*The Shining, by Stephen King
*Dracula, by Bram Stoker.

Our very own librarian, Craig Stewart, says his favorite Halloween books are from the Goosebumps Series. . . scary. His other Halloween interests consist of the movies; Halloween-Town (1&2), It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, Are You Afraid of the Dark? and Hocus Pocus.
