Harvest Tales & Midnight Revels — The Art of All Hallows Storytelling
Many years ago, I was gifted a book, Harvest Tales & Midnight Revels: Stories for the Waning of the Year. All Hallows’ Eve is the night when the veil between the living and dead is thinnest, so it’s fitting that so many different stories can all relate to the same thing: Halloween.
