Halloween Tree
Halloween Tree | Ray Bradbury
" A fast-moving, eerie...tale set on Halloween night. Eight costumed boys running to meet their friend Pipkin at the haunted house outside town encounter instead the huge and cadaverous Mr. Moundshroud. As Pipkin scrambles to join them, he is swept away by a dark Something, and Moundshroud leads the boys on the tail of a kite through time and space to search the past for their friend and the meaning of Halloween. After witnessing a funeral procession in ancient Egypt, cavemen discovering fire, Druid rites, the persecution of witches in the Dark Ages, and the gargoyles of Notre Dame, they catch up with the elusive Pipkin in the catacombs of Mexico, where each boy gives one year from the end of his life to save Pipkin's. Enhanced by appropriately haunting black-and-white drawings." --Booklist

Happy Halloween! I dressed up as a fanfic character from The Mirror Visitor series. This is a picture of the almost completed Ophelia scarf I wore.

A quick and fun read about a group of boys who get transported all over the world and throughout the centuries on Halloween Night. I loved the illustrations in this edition, especially this one that's perfect for #AutumnFoliage #OctoberPhotoADay.

I‘d never read any ray Bradbury before this October and now I‘m obsessed! I‘m so lucky these stories are on audible plus, they‘re completely magical and I see myself rereading a lot. I wish some of my friends would hurry up and have kids so I could be the fun aunt who buys gorgeous whimsical seasonal books for them 🎃

A group of boys get quite the trick on Halloween, when they meet a man presumably the devil, who takes them on a journey to learn about the history of the day around the world. The trick? Their favorite friend Pipkin keeps dying or suffering ill fates as the boys keep trying to save him. The voices are perfection in this audiobook—especially the devil‘s. The descriptions are mesmerizing and history interesting. #scarathlon #batbrigade

My #HauntedHollowSwap vibe this year is vintage & campy. I am grooving to movies I watched with my kids when they were little - Casper, Haunted Mansion, Hocus Pocus - but also some annual re-reads (Christie‘s Hallowe‘en Party) & re-listens (full-cast version of Bradbury‘s Halloween Tree). I am a huge fan of ghost stories and adore books by Sarah Rayne and Simone St. James. Bring on the witches, jack-o-lanterns, ghosts & goblins! @wanderinglynn

I love the way Bradbury tells a story. His work is deceptively complex and I enjoyed this Spooky Season exploration of friendship, adventure, imagination, grief and death. I might not make it an annual tradition, but I would consider reading it again.

This was another one where I just couldn‘t concentrate on the audio, but adored it once I switched to the print version. Also Mugnani is such a talented artist, I‘m psyched this library version is illustrated by him. #Scarathlon2022 #TeamMonsterMash @StayCurious #Spookoween2022 @TheSpineView #31by31 @Catsandbooks #PointsAThon @dieareader @GHABI4ROSES #OutstandingOctober @andrew65 #witchathon @mdm139

3. I‘m the person in the other room reading and not watching at all. 😆🫣

4. It‘s not a true “Halloween song” but it has the feel of Halloween: Save My Soul by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy - https://open.spotify.com/track/2euSu0KhXQg055y2FO45LG?si=K4j2Sg_ARs6t3QH8sLqTiA

5. Rocky Horror, Beetlejuice, Clue, Nightmare Before Christmas, & The Addams Family (so exited to watch Wednesday!)

I am not sure why I missed reading/listening to this Ray Bradbury classic Halloween book before but it was an enjoyable listen last night (narrated by Bronson Pinochet). Lightly spooky & a good review of Halloween traditions around the world. I think it will fill a square in a #LittenListen bingo & 26 points for my #TeamHendrix scorecard with it‘s Halloween title & focus.

I love Bradbury (Dandelion Wine is one of my favorite books EVAH), but had never read this one… I decided to listen because of how much another of my swap partners @PatriciaU loves it, and I‘m so glad I did!

A quick, spooky story starts with a haunted house, continues with a creepy character taking some trick-or-treaters through time to see the history & meaning of Halloween. All with Bradbury‘s amazing & touching storytelling.🖤

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

PatriciaU I‘m so happy you enjoyed it! It‘s a simple but effective treatment of Halloween and the traditions and history surrounding it. Plus the imagery of the tree is spectacular! 3y
sprainedbrain @PatriciaU Yes! Especially at the end when all of the lights go out. So lovely! 3y
