Halloween Book Club Party

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.

PARTY INSPIRATION:

DECORATIONS:

MUSIC:


Vampyre: Symphonies from the Crypt, by Midnight Syndicate, on Amazon

Play something quietly spooky and instrumental in the background. Something interesting to listen to, but not so loud or distracting that it prevents talking about the book.
