A girl dressed in a witch costume sitting by a black cauldron.

One of my favorite Halloween costumes when I was little was a homemade witch. My mom cut up black fabric and hastily sewed it together (as no one in our family knew how to sew). She decorated the fabric by drizzling neon green puffy paint all over it before hacking a jagged hole out of the top to slip over my head. The uneven, frayed cut added the perfect effect.

Halloween season is here and I, for one, am ready for it. My family lives for trick-or-treating, Halloween costumes, pumpkin patches, copious amounts of candy and flickering candles. To help set the ominous atmosphere, I decided years ago that I would only read creepy books for the entirety of October. It's something I highly recommend. Are you ready to join me on this haunted literary adventure? 

Anythink has a list of new books of all genres that will put a chill up your spine, and a ghostly whisper in your ear. Most of these are avaliable at Anythink libraries now!
