I'm still in search of the perfect Halloween read, but thanks to several recommendations (mostly from Facebook), I've got several to choose from. Among those suggested:
Ghost Story - Peter Straub
Saw the movie, never read the book.
Anything by Robert Westall
Got Demons and Shadows: The Ghostly Best Stories of Robert Westall and The Stones of Muncaster Cathedral from the library.
Anything by Stephen King
There's still quite a few King books I haven't read, but right now I'm just not in a King mood.
Anything by H.P. Lovecraft, especially "The Rats in the Walls"
Maybe. I do have an ex-library copy of Tales from the Library of America, so I'll probably read at least that story. With me a little Lovecraft goes a long way.
Of course, there are always a few titles that have been sitting around on my shelf that I might finally get around to reading:
Acquainted with the Night - Barbara and Christopher Roden, eds. With one of my favorite covers by one of my favorite artists, Jason Van Hollander.
All Heads Turn When the Hunt Goes By - John Farris
The Werewolf of Paris - Guy Endore
So many choices.... I may not have time to come up with a decent costume....

Just remember: never judge a book by the movie. (Especially Ghost Story. Yikes. What a crap movie.)
