Two thumbs up

Entertainment Weekly recently put together a useful list of 31 Spooky Books to Read This Halloween. In addition to the fact that I always love dorky holiday-themed reading lists, their picks are actually really good: there are plenty of expected names (Stephen King, Clive Barker, Anne Rice), but they feature slightly more off-the-wall choices like Shirley Jackson, Roald Dahl, and Dan Simmons, too.
