Neil Gaiman Explains All Hallow's Read

And give someone a scary book at Hallowe'en.

When I read your books I hear them in your voice. And I love it!!

[saekolin]

I'm just completely fascinated by the people on the background...haha

Omg, my local bookstore is throwing an All Hallow's Read party thanks to you guys! Free books for everyone! Huzzah! I'm so excited, I love this tradition. I also like the idea of a Halloween party NOT at a frat house. But I'm a nerd, so...

I love Neil Gaiman's books. I read his and Linda Prather's books over and over.

I especially love the zombie about 30 second in behind the gravestone on the left fixing her hair :D

Hello from Sept 2022 Ready for All Hallow's Read

[indiggrrl]

i did this last year and introduced my little 9 year old sister to goosebumps. i changed her life forever.

[Amehana]

I love this idea, and it is the first that I have heard of it. I will have to find some scary books for my teens now, sir. I think it was last year that one of my reading groups listened to your Graveyard book, which was excellent. I was considering sitting down with my boy and reading it together for part of the Hallows.

[UnicornHeart]

I find it difficult to concentrate on what Neil's saying with what's going on behind him :D 

[imjustanalien]

You are one of my inspirations to become a writer! I'm reading the Graveyard Book this month!

[Dbibb]

As a love this idea!! Thank you so much for spreading literacy!!!

[reneetone]

Love this idea.  I think I shall give somebody Neil's brilliant CORALINE next Halloween!

[Jcolinsol]

English people haven't quite got Halloween down. But they are trying their hearts out, god bless 'em.

I'm going to give my somebody a copy of "The House with a Clock in It's Walls" for Halloween.

[princessthyemis]

He's really cool!! I love this idea of All Hallows Read.

[Navid.Haider]

It's been 10 years. Let's do it for 10 more years!

[EdisonCrux]

Absolutely love this idea!

I will definitely make this a new tradition.

[Cloudyziza]

Is David Mitchell's Slade House scary enough? :D :D :D We're going to read it together with my husband for All Hallow's Read this year! Thank you for our new family tradition, second year :D

[ChrisFowCohen]

For this, my second All Hallow's Read, I gave the poem "The Spider’s Web (A Natural History)" by E.B. White to every trick-or-treater. When I told a neighbor the origin of this, she said, "We have to go have coffee." She is a Sandman fan. Who knew?

[gabbychicago]

I LOVE IT! Absolutely, yes! I myself love scary books and I'm always reading something of the sort. By the way... want a good scare? try English writer James Herbert!
