13 Books to Read If You Can't Get Enough of Hocus Pocus

John Connolly is a master of the modern fairy tale, and he further stakes his claim on the genre with The Gates. Samuel Johnson and his Dachshund, Boswell, get a three-day head start on trick-or-treating, and in the process they stumble upon their unwitting neighbors accidentally opening the gates to Hell. Now Samuel and Boswell have much bigger things to think about than finding the houses with the full-size candy bars in this witty and imaginative book about a Halloween gone awry.
