#37: Dark Harvest, by Norman Partridge
I've been very behind on recording my books. This is a great but short tale of a farming town with a curious tradition. Every year, a pumpkin-headed scarecrow comes to life, and all the teenage boys roam the streets to defeat it. The winner and his family are lavishly awarded, but there's a dark secret to the situation.
#38: Trick 'r Treat: Tales of Mayhem, Mystery, and Mischief, by John Griffin
Trick 'r Treat is the best Halloween movie ever, and this is a big book about the making of the movie. It's full of preliminary sketches, descriptions of the production process and how the film came to be made, and the short stories that comprise the plot of the movie. It also has lots of fun extras, like stickers, posters, jack o'lantern patterns, and such.
#39: Revamp, by Beck Sherman
I got this book from the Kindle Lending Library, and I'm probably just going to stop reading it. I got about 2/3rds through, and I just don't care how it ends. Apparently vampires somehow caused a nationwide blackout, which somehow allowed them to take over and turn the majority of the population into vampires, and within 3 weeks entire swaths of the country have been completely transformed into a fully functioning vampire society and economy. It's not really explained how this happened. The vampires' haphazard conversion sweep missed a few people, and they've banded together with a half-baked scheme to liberate the world.
