  • Halloween Glow: Going Batty!

    Charles Reasoner

    Board book (Price Stern Sloan, Sept. 4, 2000)
    Last year's Halloween Glow Books were an instant sell-out! So this year we've added three new titles to the series. These board books are extra chunky with clever die-cut shapes and charming rhyming texts. But that's not all! As an added treat, glow-in-the-dark eyes peek out from the first page and through the cover, providing a real touch of Halloween magic for the youngest of trick-or-treaters! These books go fast, though, so don't let the trick be on you! This bat has gone batty as he flaps through the air, but he's a little too goofy to cause much of a scare!

  • 13 on Halloween

    Laura A. H. Elliott

    (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, Sept. 20, 2011)
    Roxie has the best night of her life until the popular kids decide they want to celebrate her birthday in a way Roxie never expects––in her attic, with a gift that’s out of this world, and a pact to never tell a living soul what happens next. Twelve-year-old Roxie wants to be like Adrianne, the popular girl who gets everything she wants––a trampoline, a flock to prowl around the mall with, and most especially invitations to parties. When Roxie invites all the eighth grade peacocks [code word: popular kids] to her first ever thirteenth birthday party on Halloween, they all come and give her a gift that’s literally out of this world. Roxie astral projects to Planet Popular where she becomes seventeen instantly and gets everything she’s always wanted, but nothing is as it seems. Being a high school peacock is complicated and Roxie will risk everything to be who she thinks she wants to be. Oh yeah, there’s Prom, doppelgangers, and lots of bad peacocks too. Includes an excerpt from SHADOW SLAYER, book 2, which releases September 18, 2012. 13 on Halloween is now available as an audiobook on iTunes & Audible.

  • The Book of Hallowe'en: The History of Allhallows Eve

    Ruth Edna Kelley

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, Sept. 25, 2016)
    The Book of Hallowe'en The History of Allhallows Eve By Ruth Edna Kelley Halloween, or Hallowe'en , also known as Allhalloween, All Hallows' Eve, or All Saints' Eve, is a celebration observed in a number of countries on 31 October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. It begins the three-day observance of Allhallowtide, the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the faithful departed. According to BBC Online, it is "widely believed" that many Halloween traditions originated from the ancient Celtic harvest festival Samhain, and that this Gaelic observance was Christianized by the early Church. Samhain and other such festivals may have had pagan roots. Some academics, however, support the view that Halloween began independently of Samhain and has solely Christian roots.
