Spooky Books for a Dark Night

It's time to get into the "spirit" of the holiday. The IMC has several new books that can help you.

For information books, we have 2 new books - one on haunted houses and one on witches. These books are from a series called The Mystery Library. Each book examines the history, investigations, and mystery of its topic. There are lots of photographs that show people and events. Just the right kind of nonfiction for Halloween.
There are a number of new fiction books that are spooky, scary, or just plain creepy. You may want to look at Bunnicula, an old favorite about a vampire bunny by Deborah and James Howe OR Heck, Where the Bad Children Go, by Dale E. Basge OR Danger in the Dark, by Tom LaLicki, a mystery which features Harry Houdini, the great escape artist OR Shadowmancer, by G.P. Taylor which involves the forces of good and evil OR The Witches of Worm, another old favorite by Zilpha Keatley Snyder about a girl who wants to become a witch OR a new book by Ms. Snyder called The Unseen about a ghostly world OR Death Is a Lonely Business, by Ray Bradbury, a mystery featuring the author himself and many strange events. These and other terrific holiday books are availble in the IMC.
