“Science Fiction & Fantasy writer Neil Gaiman put a great idea up on Twitter a few days ago: ‘This year make Halloween All Hallow’s Read.’ Neil suggests giving someone you love a scary book on the 31st. I think it’s a great idea. It can be one of mine but it doesn’t have to be. Have a great Halloween!”

“I’m going to adopt this as a Halloween habit and I hope you will too. It ain’t easy to start a new holiday tradition on short notice — we might have to take a couple years to build this one up — but I think it’s worth doing.”
