Description

|
|
|
Filled with scary stories, poems, spells, superstitions (and even recipes), and delightfully illuminated with vintage art, illustrations, and cartoons, this book provides spooky shivers for Halloween and every other night of the year. Here are classic ghost stories like "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "The Monkey's Paw"; tales from H.G. Wells, Mark Twain, and Mary Shelley; Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" and the witches' chant from Shakespeare's Macbeth; and advice and history on All Hallow's Eve, the Jack-o-Lantern, and the mystical uses of mirrors and candles. Here too are curses and spells, magical tricks, and recipes to delight revelers. "I can't remember a book quite like it in my long history of reading. It is absolutely wonderful. Enchanting, imaginative, different, and to quote Shakespeare incorrectly, 'Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, and again wonderful, wonderful, and once more wonderful!"—Ray Bradbury
