The Halloween Encyclopedia


by Taurus

Rawer and Barks Friends. Taurus here to bring you another Book Review for the wonderful Zine. With Halloween approaching soon I thought for this issue I would do a couple of book reviews. The first one is called The Halloween Encyclopedia.

A full A-Z encyclopedia about all the different traditions and myths of Halloween. From the early Druids to the modern day candy feasts, this book will tell you all you wanted to know about the holiday. The book is written more as a reference book than other Halloween books. It also covers the viewpoints of many different cultures including Celtic, Christian, Mexican, Scottish and many others. 240 pages, hardcover, illustrated, black and white. This encyclopedia gives you lots of information about what I call one of the scariest nights of the year and one of my least favorite nights! I get chills just thinking about the door bell ringing and all of the kids in those scary costumes!! I will be under my bed hiding for sure!

My second book review is all about my buddy Garfield, Garfield's Halloween Adventure.


America's favorite fat cat enjoys a night out on his favorite holiday. No relatives, no dumb bunnies, just good wholesome candy. The full color paperback is based off the movie Garfield in Disguise. While trick-or-treating Garfield and Odie discover the scary side of Halloween night as they stumble upon ancient pirate treasure and the ghosts of the pirates who it belongs to. 64 pages, paperback, fully illustrated, color. This book is fun and colorful and like always Garfield and Odie make everyone smile and laugh. Garfield is one of my favorite characters and I always enjoy reading books about him and his pals. I know you will get a kick out of this book!
