A Halloween Reader: Poems, Stories, and Plays from Halloween Past

This anthology contains the works of writers from the 16th to the early 20th centuries who evoke Halloween in different ways: to set a scene, twist a plot, or explain something inexplicable, like madness or time travel. From Scott and Burns to Nesbit, Poe, and Lovecraft, the anthology showcases the work of pre-21st century authors, prefaced by an fascinating introduction that places them in historical and literary contexts.
