[quote=""cw gortner""]My favorite All Hallows reads:
1) The Witching Hour by Anne Rice. When this was first published, my father bought it for me as a gift. As things turned out, I got a nasty flu the day of Halloween so I stayed home alone while my roommates went out and got drunk. I started the book and couldn't put it down. By 3 am, I was totally freaked out and locked every door and window. I'd never been so happy to see my drunken roommates as I was that night. It's a very creepy book.
2) The Blood Countess by Andre Cudrescu (not sure if sp is right!) About a modern day writer's search for Elizabeth Bathory, interspersed with her story. Literary and spine-tingling, this is a highly recommended Halloween read. The part where her ghost is conjured is very eerie, and of course there are all those vats of virgins' blood. The fact that she actually existed makes it all the more scary.[/quote]
Woaw, these two books sound really good C.W. !
