Bradbury gifts us with his wonderful imagery and realistically grubby little boys, as usual, which made reading this book worthwhile. As a story, though, it was not nearly as engaging as I usually find his work. It probably works better for a young audience, as a not-overtly-scary tale of the real o...
A fantasy romp through a narrow selection of death-cellebrating traditions. 12ish feels like the target audience aim. I saw somewhere being said this is to Halloween what a Christmass Charol is to Yule. Well... While I really liked some passages here and there (specially all those Oh, so grim rh...

An eerie tale of Halloween in which a group of kids are guided (or is it lured?) by the sinister Mr. Moundshroud on a journey through time. I'm not sure what was creepier, the descriptions of Mr. Moundshroud or the fact that the children followed him with little hesitation. However, once the journ...
"It was like sweet and and sour sauce in book form. Not too sweet and not too sour." That's a direct quote from my nine-year-old daughter. I've read this book every year since I was seven years old. It was, as far as I can remember, my first experience with "horror" in literature, even if it's ...
I had heard a lot of things about this book, it is the go to book for most people for a Halloween read. All of that hype must have made me overly excited because I was a little disappointed. It just wasn't what I thought it was going to be. However, I did still like it, especially the parts where th...
A strange dark whimsical tale of Eight boys and there adventures on Halloween. I found this to be a gem of a book. It wasn't at all scary. But it did focus on Halloween and what it means. The artwork was fantastic! I read this on my Kobo and I could see the art perfectly. It did take me back to the ...
