And So It Begins

Give Everyone Scary Books for Halloween, Neil Gaiman Said So

by Susana Polo | 5:48 pm, October 14th, 2011


I was the only person I knew who actually looked forward to trick or treating at the giant house of the lady who had a job with Scholastic and gave out books for Halloween, even if I already had that month’s Animorphs book and had to pick something else, and so I am all for Neil Gaiman‘s proposed tradition of All Hallows Read. Gaiman suggests that we would all benefit from a holiday that was specifically about giving books to your loved ones, and why not make it Halloween, to just add to all the scary sugar-fueled goodness.

    Just a warning to anyone: The audio is terrible on it, playing in just one speaker. It’s not just you noticing it.

    I would SO do this if I still lived in a small town. Where I live so many kids end up on my door that I would either run out in ten minutes or have to spend my rent money hehe Even still, this is an amazing idea.
