About this author

Hudson Valley, NY resident Donna Davies, dubbed the “Halloween Queen,” divides her time between authoring children’s books, lecturing to both adults and children, and curating several web sites dedicated to the holiday.

Ms. Davies’ first picture book for children, The Halloween Queen Who Lost Her Scream, thrilled audiences from 6 to 60 upon its release last October and earned her numerous opportunities to present the book at libraries across the region.

In the 3rd quarter of 2012, she plans to release her second children’s book, Sleepy Hollow and the Road You’d Better Not Follow through her publishing company All Hallows Eve Press.

I am drawn to the rotting corpses that don the covers of every genre of book from fiction to non-fiction. There is even a Zombie book of Christmas Carols. Yes, I bought that one too!

Moonlight, Cobwebs And Shadows by Rosalind Welcher
I have had this book since I was a child. It is a cute little book of ghostly poetry and art by Roseland Welcher. If you find a copy, you should pick it up. The art and irony of the poems make the book.
