This isn't a bad idea. I should take this opportunity to read some books that I have on my Reader or on my bookshelf. I'll go for these three:
-Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Got it a while ago for my Reader but haven't read much past the first few pages.
... <snip>
-And if I get time, The Stand. Got this also in hardcover at the sale. I've had a million people tell me to read it, so I picked it up.

I'm looking to read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies soon... anyone who can cross Jane Austen with zombies is OK in my book Also looking at Sense and Sensibilities and Sea Monsters, for similar reasons.

Make time for The Stand. One of Stephen King's best. For that matter, make some more time and read It, also by King. Another of his best.

Are Thomas Tryon's book available electronically? Harvest Home would be appropriate to the season, but I prefer The Other.

Not specifically about halloween, but for fans of Lovecraft or Robert E. Howard-style horror should check out http://www.eldritchdark.com/ for the works of Clark Ashton Smith.

I'm going to be settling down with Dickens' "Christmas Stories" (available on MR) and selecting the ones not relating to Christmas, like "The Haunted House". I'll read these when I return from celebrating Samhain with a few other wiccans. You nicked the day from us.

Salem's Lot and The Shining by Stephen King - both books utterly creeped me out.

I have to agree with you both. The creep factor in Bram Stoker's book is off the wall! (Yes, I know this icon is suppose to be a Vulcan, but doesn't it look eerily similar to Max Schreck's portrayal of Count Orlok in Nosferatu?

I hope that you like it, Ladies.
If i can just find three or four more stories, then I should be in a position to make a complete omnibus edition.

I agree: It looks exactly like Nosferatu.

Pah! The only true religious holiday of the season is the awaiting of The Great Pumpkin, coming to judge the most sincere pumpkin patch to shower presents on his believers.

So sayeth Linus, so sayeth us all!

This year the Great Pumpkin will come for sure!
