Give a fright this Halloween with a scary BOO-k as part of All Hallows Read. The book-gifting event was dreamed up last year by Science Fiction and Fantasy writer Neil Gaiman in his blog post, A Modest Proposal (that doesn’t actually involve eating anyone). “Spread the terror,” he explains in his video below.
Since then it has started to spread through the UK, the US, and Canada. This year there were several organized book drops to get books to school children. Countless tweets are streaming to #AllHallowsRead on Twitter. You can join in by giving a child or friend a scary book for Halloween. No you don’t have to skip the candy.
“I think it’s a great idea,” said horror master Stephen King. “It can be one of mine but it doesn’t have to be. Have a great Halloween!”
