Collected Works of Edgar Allan Poe, on Amazon
THEME:
Invite your regular book club over to discuss Halloween short stories, gothic novels, or some creepy literature you agreed upon last month. Put aside your regular book club book and talk about something Halloween-related.
ACTIVITY:
100 Ghastly Little Ghost Stories, on Amazon
Serve a light dinner, plenty of snacks and desserts, and gather in your living room to talk about literature. Discuss a book you've all agreed to read; or take turns reading dark poetry or short Halloween ghost stories. Share suggestions for further reading everyone can do on their own at home in the next dark, cold, rainy months.
