Happy Halloween, everybody!

Who is the only author to have books in 9 out of 10 Dewey classes? That would be Isaac Asimov! Another fun fact- he contributed editorial commentary to another book that is in that last Dewey class. So technically, he's the only author to have written words in all 10 classes!

Just in time for Halloween, this week's poll wants to know what unusual material binds at least three books at Harvard? Take a guess here.

This week, we're thinking about spooky reads. What is the best ghost story you've ever read? Or what is the scariest book you've ever read? I've only recently gotten into horror and it's been pretty tame horror at that. However, I do have two books that stand out- Rin Chupeco's The Girl from the Well and Andrew Pyper's The Damned.

The first is about a vengeful spirit in Japan who frees the ghosts of murdered children by killing their murderers. But when she comes across a boy with strange markings, she finds herself trying to protect him from demonic forces that are hunting him.

The second is about a man and his twin sister who both died- but he's the only one who came back. Now, years later, his sister starts to haunt him in an attempt to pull him back to Hell with her.

What are your scary books?

The Girl from the Well (The Girl from the Well, #1) by Rin Chupeco The Damned by Andrew Pyper
