All Hallows Read

Halloween isn't just about trick or treating and dressing up in awesome costumes. It's also about sharing chills and thrills with your loved ones through books!

All Hallow's Read is a tradition started by Neil Gaiman*when he decided that there weren't enough holiday traditions that involved giving books. It's a way to share scary things (which most of us love) with others.

Here's a quick video where he explains the concept some more (also, there are zombies in the background)
