The halloween tree story6/28/2023 ![]() ![]() Side note: There’s a roundup list of over 385 pumpkin carving ideas here if classic Halloween vibes are your thing too. It spoke to the candy corn, jack-o-lantern side of my soul. That’s why I picked up The Halloween Tree by Ray Bradbury. There’s a time and place for the gore-fest, but sometimes all you really want is some comforting, Hocus Pocus, Halloweentown style spookiness. It conjures up images of jack-o-lanterns and dark branches against a full moon, rather than the more adult Halloween images of sex, blood, and gore. I think the name alone pulls at a sort of nostalgic, childhood spooks version of Halloween. It is currently Spooky Season, and even though I normally drift toward more horror (see a list of my 31 favorite horror movies here) but something about The Halloween Tree drew me in. Something that felt like that cool, fall night air, with some ghosts and witches thrown in for good measure, know what I mean? I might be late to the party by a few decades, but I just recently found and read The Halloween Tree by Ray Bradbury. ![]()

Wolf hollow book cover6/28/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Since Wolf Hollow’s publication, Wolk has written two further novels, including, Beyond the Bright Sea (2017) and Echo Mountain (2020). However, Donnelly argues that Wolf Hollow’s most distinctive feature, is its use of “spare, simple language perfectly suited to its subject and setting.” She claims that Wolk’s adoption of first-person, past-tense, expertly balances “a mood of aching regret with an electric sense of ominousness.” In her New York Times review of May 5, 2016, Jennifer Donnelly praises Wolf Hollow for its unsparing treatment of “dark truths,” most potently that “doing right can go very wrong.” Donnelly compares Wolk’s presentation of the relationship between Annabelle, a “precociously perceptive girl”, and Toby, “a damaged, misunderstood recluse”, to that of the main characters in Harper Lee’s 1960 classic, To Kill a Mockingbird. ![]()
