This is basically Halloween Town, but for adults. It's not Disney. It's It's a little dark, a little gruesome at times, but it has gained quite a cult following for being a cozy Halloween anthology.
You NEED to Read These Halloween Books! π (Book Recommendations) | Halloween Madness
Even though this is young adult, and this is more adult, this is actually a lot darker, a lot meaner, a lot bloodier. It's it's just a lot more gruesome overall. It's a very dark, very bleak kind of book.
I love this book. I love how over-the-top and crazy it gets, especially toward the end of the story. It really goes places and you never know which character is safe.
And not only is it a very faithful novelization of the film, but it does expand on it so much more. You get Michael Myers's entire backstory in this book and it's really cool.
I love that book. I thought it was such a great, heavily researched book about the Headless Horseman. Definitely recommend checking that out.
And it gets dark and it ends on a very bleak note. I just found it very surprising and I think you should read it for that reason alone. But it's also just a really fun Halloween book.
And last, but definitely not least, because I think this might be my new favorite Halloween book of all time. Maybe not quite as good as like The Haunted Mask or The Halloween Tree by Ray Bradberry or Something Wicked This Way Comes, but very, very close.
And as you can see, it is very much in style of scary stories to tell in the dark, which is one of my favorite books of all time, one of my favorite series of all time.
I was a bit surprised because the whole book just feels like, you know, Halloween Town or Hocus Pocus, but there are a couple of scenes where it does step a little bit further into the horror territory, which I very much appreciated, but it also feels like a nice warm familyfriendly Halloween adventure like Hocus Pocus. And I just loved it.
This is a very light, very fun book, but when you get to the end, there is actually a very, very shocking and gory death that just totally left my jaw on the floor. I was not expecting it to go there because, like I said, the rest of the book is so light and fun.
I thought these sections were really, really cool and very informative, but the whole book is just so welldesigned. There are so many pictures, so many illustrations.
Guys, this is a really wonderful, very, very underrated book that I hope a lot more people will read this Halloween season. If you like books that take place in small towns with a lot of lore and a lot of history, this is a great one.
And then there's another one that I'm in the middle of right now called With Friends Like These. I'm halfway through that and I'm loving it.
