Halloween Greetings...
May I suggest that you sample (between the mozzarella eyeballs and mummy cupcakes)...

Sally Thomas on The Drama of Hallowmas, Fr. Robert Barron on vampire mania, and a WSJ article on the brilliance of the late Shirley Jackson.
(it's been too long since I read We Have Always Lived in the Castle. I must put it on the "to read" list.)
