Halloween

It’s been 40 years since Laurie Strode survived a vicious attack from crazed killer Michael Myers on Halloween night. Locked up in an institution, Myers manages to escape when his bus transfer goes horribly wrong. Laurie now faces a terrifying showdown when the masked madman returns to Haddonfield, Ill. — but this time, she’s ready for him.

Halloween Night Murder

There’s usually a chill in the air when Halloween arrives–but in these three novellas by Leslie Meier, Lee Hollis, and Liz Ireland, the crimes are even colder than the haunted climate. They include the title story: After a tiring but satisfying day of organizing Halloween festivities, Lucy Stone is surprised by a lone late-night trick-or-treater at her home in Tinker’s Cove, Maine. The next morning, she’s heartbroken to learn that the teenager died in a hit-and-run just minutes after she gave him the last of her candy supply. Haunted, she starts digging into his story—and discovers some dark secrets.

Halloween Sky Ride

While flying off to a great Halloween party, an inviting witch helps give her friends a lift to the big event, but with a shaky skeleton, jittery jack-o-lantern, and others aboard, the broomstick ride becomes quite a challenge for all those on board! For ages 4-8.
