Putting together a fall reading list and looking to start getting into the Halloween spirit in the coming weeks. I was curious if anyone had any recommendations for books/collections of folktales connected to Halloween. Ghost stories, history of Halloween, Samhain, Jack-O-Lanterns, monster stories, etc.

Thr Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Other Stories by Washington Irving is where modern concept of the headless horseman comes from!
Never Whistle At Night, it’s indigenous (U.S.) spooky folktales.
Ray Bradbury’s The Halloween Tree takes 8 boys on a journey through the times, places and customs that created the American holiday Halloween.
