TRICK OR TREAT: A HISTORY OF HALLOWEEN

Take a journey from the spectacular to the macabre and discover the origins and history of this increasingly popular holiday. Author, Lisa Morton explores how festivals like the Celtic Samhain, Catholic All Souls’ Day, and Mexico’s Day of the Dead have blended to produce the modern Halloween. She also examines the explosion of haunted attractions and the impact of events such as the global economic recession, as well as the effect Halloween has had on popular culture through literary works, films, and television series.
