  • Summary

  • My vision of Halloween was formed in part by Ray Bradbury’s book, The Halloween Tree, published in 1972. I love the story of Tom Skelton, Wally Babb, and the other kids seeking their lost friend, Joe Pipkin, with the aid of Carapace Clavicle Moundshroud. If you haven’t read this book, I encourage you to. It’s a quick read but one that opened my eyes to the brilliance of Bradbury’s use of language and what Halloween really could be.

    One thing The Halloween Tree is not is particularly scary. Personally, I’ve never been a fan of scary movies, but a great scary story is a wonder. That’s when I turn to Edgar Allen Poe. I say, skip the candy on Halloween and read some Poe if you really want a rush. 

    So in this episode, in the spirit of Halloween, I share two short pieces written perhaps to get your pulse racing, maybe surprise you, or just creep you out a bit. Have a safe and happy Halloween!
