Monster Month

After a lifetime of trekking jungles, climbing mountains, and spelunking caves, the world’s foremost cryptozoologist at last reveals a selection of his greatest discoveries.

Another book that would be fun to have at your party is Professor Ichbonnsen’s Monster Month. It’s a spectacular who’s who of the monsters that are likely skulking your streets this season.
Witch Way….His Way A reference guide to the Craft
Cauldrons instead of Jack-o-lanterns? Most people are focused on stockpiling bags of candy and finding the perfect costume for Halloween. But is there more to this festive holiday than the typical tricks and treats? Steven Johnson’s book titled Witch Way . . . His Way does so much more than spout off spooky tales of goblins and ghouls.
And, finally, if your party gets to the point where a past life regression session or druid healing spell is necessary, it’s probably a good idea to have a copy of A reference guide to the Craft on hand.
With all this fine literature at your disposal, any chilling celebration is bound to be a smash hit.
