Halloween Horrors
There are lots of spooky books available in the Library to cater for all tastes over the Halloween period. There is everything from ghost stories, horror fiction through spooky joke books, art books to help you create your own eerie characters and books about the paranormal!
If you are not afraid of spiders you can reach through the giant web to borrow one of the books from the display.
Display for Halloween
As the nights grow ever longer and darker and the weather becomes colder and wetter what could be better than to sit indoors and read a lovely, long... horror story!!
Celebrate Halloween by choosing from the many horror books on display around the Library. If you are not afraid of spiders you could even borrow one from the shelves beneath the display board! So, 'Don't be a scaredy cat.. read some horror!!'
Halloween Display
This year's Halloween Display is based on a rhyme I remember from way back when I was at primary school. There are lots of horror and ghost stories on display throughout the Library as well, so plenty to scare you during the long, dark autumn evenings!

Black October
In October as the nights get darker thoughts start to turn to all things "Halloween". The display in the fiction section this month focuses on books which are scary, or frightening, and which, by coincidence, have predominantly black book jackets! So if you want something creepy or ghostly to read come along to the Library and see the selection of books on display.
Book of the week - 9th September
Book of the week this week is 'Gravenhunger' by Harriet Goodwin - a terrifying adventure story. The blurb on the back cover reads:
"Phoenix gasped. How could she have kept a place like this a secret? It was huge. Four storeys of dark grey stone glowering down at them through a multitude of mullioned windows...The sun had disappeared behind a dense bank of cloud - and above the towering chimneys of Gravenhunger Manor a thin grey rain was falling."
"Gravenhunger Manor isn't the only secret Pheonix's mother took with her to the grave. Something terrible happened at the house during her childhood, something for which she never forgave herself. Pheonix is determined to uncover the truth, but as he begins to dig up the past, he finds himself in mortal danger..."
This book is a wonderfully atmospheric, mysterious adventure which will keep you turning the pages right up until the end.

Daniel sees her later swimming in the lake. Her name is Lexi and she is smart and funny but rather secretive.

Book of the week - 3rd June
'Shiverton Hall' by Emerald Fennell is the book of the week this week. Shiverton Hall is a school with a distinctly creepy history but when Arthur Bannister is unexpectedly offered a place with all expenses paid he has no option but to accept - to the delight of his parents. Although many of the students are friendly there are some who are most certainly not! As for the Headmistress it seems to be her mission in life to make Arthur's time at the school as miserable as possible. Add to that the ghosts and the Shiverton curse and you have the makings of a very eerie story.
