As a parent, I always felt that Halloween was insane. Our kids would go off trick-or-treating, gather up ridiculous amounts of candy, and we’d stress about them actually eating it. In fact, we made up a whole story where they would “trade in” their candy — leaving it out for the Great Pumpkin — and discover a new toy or gift the next morning. The epic wastefulness of it all! What’s better, you might ask? My new “Scary Tales” collection. Three full book-length stories in one (cheap!) paperback compilation. 304 pages for grades 3-6, and no one dies, wonderfully illustrated by the great Iacopo Bruno. Only $8.99 and NO CAVITIES!

Halloween before my time: The three oldest from my family, Barbara, Neal, and Billy. America in the 1950s.
My two youngest, Maggie and Gavin, close to 20 years ago. Let’s go, Mets!

Whatever really happened to all that candy, I wonder? I do like a frozen mini Milky Way bar. Sue me.
