A Halloween Starter Kit
At Wales Arts Review, we love Halloween. So here’s the perfect Halloween starter kit for anybody out there looking to create the perfect atmosphere for this year's festivities.
BOOK
What gets under your skin can be a very personal thing, and whereas a Stephen King might work for some, it could be an Angela Carter for someone else. The book market is full of very good compendiums of unsettling short stories, and of course it’s easy to pick up some Poe or Lovecraft and sink into a comfy chair for the evening. But our shout out goes to the really excellent Everyman Pocket Classics Ghost Stories, which offers up old classic with slightly newer ones, and goes from Maupassant to Bradbury by ways of Nabokov and Elizabeth Bowen.
Also, check out Gemma Pearson’s pick of Halloween stories written by women for Wales Arts Review for more recommendations.
