"The American Halloween: A History of Horror and Celebration" by Samuel Henderson is a fascinating exploration of the history and traditions of this spooky holiday. The book delves into the ancient origins of Halloween, tracing its roots back to Celtic celebrations of Samhain, when the line between the living and the dead was said to be at its thinnest. It explores the evolution of the holiday, from its early days as a night for mischief and superstition to its modern incarnation as a holiday of costumed revelry and community connection.
