Synopsis: Halloween Things (That Sometimes Rhymes), though small, covers a surprisingly wide array of Halloween territory. From silly to shocking to sentimental to unsettling to heartfelt to demented to utterly ridiculous, the only constants throughout are Halloween's overarching ubiquity and the author's thoroughly bizarre sense of humor. It includes both fiction and nonfiction, poetry and prose, and just about everything in between. There's even a short sequel to a Jules Verne classic. Halloween Things drips, oozes, and festers Halloween on every page. So whether you're 6, 66, or 666 years old, this book is the perfect collection of things to set the tone of the season and get you in the mood for October's grand finale. This deluxe edition also includes More Halloween Things and Christmas Odd & Ends.
