OCTOBER SHADOWS
Classic Ghost Stories of Halloween | Selected and Illustrated by John A. Rice
Available now from Abbeville Press!
In this chilling literary collection, artist John A. Rice brings to life classic Halloween ghost stories through his signature landscape painting style, using autumn leaves as his canvas. Each leaf is shown in two ways: in daylight, and lit from behind by candlelight, creating a jack-o-lantern glow that mirrors the hidden fears and shadowy mysteries explored in these thirteen tales.
Spanning September to December, the stories take readers from sunlit New England forests to desolate English heaths and frigid Arctic seas. Perfect for curling up in front of a fire on a chilly autumn night, when the moon is high and the wind whispers through the trees, this spirited anthology guides you through the spooky season and reflects on the classic literature that shaped Halloween into the haunting holiday we celebrate today.
