Kevin Purdy:
Since "The Legend of Decimus Croome: A Halloween Carol" is based on "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens, would you consider it both a Halloween book and a Christmas book?

Thanks for the question "Best Holiday Books." My Halloween novel "The Legend of Decimus Croome: A Halloween Carol" is definitely a Halloween book through and through. It mentions Christmas at the very end of the last chapter, but that's about the only Christmas reference throughout.
However, any young reader, Dickens fan or Halloween story fan would love to receive a copy of "The Legend of Decimus Croome" for Christmas, so it would indeed make an excellent Christmas gift for readers of all ages.
But since we are rapidly approaching the Halloween season, I would recommend picking up a copy of "A Halloween Carol" now rather than waiting until Christmas. It is available on Amazon.com.
Thanks again for the question!!
