Free Halloween Reads Online

Need a quick Halloween read? Here’s a list of free reads you can find online, compiled by Michele Lee.  These have not been reviewed at MonsterLibrarian.com, so proceed at your own risk. But since the Wall Street Journal informed me today that horror lovers live for risk, I know you’ll want to at least try one out. The Journal mentioned the thrill day traders get out of playing the market in almost the same sentence… Believe me, you’re better off getting your kicks from reading free Halloween stories online. Enjoy!

New Educator Resources Page

One of the top drivers of traffic to MonsterLibrarian.com is a lesson plan on writing scary stories by Kellie Hayden. So I know many teachers visit our site, even if it’s just for a minute. In an effort to better serve the educators who visit us, I’ve started an Educator Resources page, with links to lesson plans, webquests, booklists, and activities related to Halloween, scary stories, and whatever else I think might be of interest to teachers and librarians looking for ideas or ways to integrate cool scary (or not so scary) stuff into what you’re doing. If you have additional resources to suggest you can send us suggestions at monsterlibrarian@monsterlibrarian.com. Just title your email “Educator Resources” , so it won’t get lost in the shuffle.

Mid-October update is here!

It seems kinda silly to do it this way, but to avoid repeating work that’s already been done, here’s a link to the post detailing our new update, which just went up tonight.

Part of the update is a printable list of some of my favorite picture book titles for this time of year, titled What Will You Read This Halloween? The titles from the list were also added to the top of our Halloween Book List for Kids page. The list is by no means comprehensive, and if you scroll down to the bottom of that page you’ll find another, longer list that includes additional titles. Note that with a few exceptions, the books on these lists have not actually been reviewed here. Writing the reviews takes a lot longer than reading the books.

At any rate, check out the new Halloween Horrors! update and see what’s new here at MonsterLibrarian.com
