The Merry Fates

If you are looking for an excellent read aloud for Halloween, try the short story “Anthropophagy” by Tessa Gratton.   While the site Merry Fates isn’t particularly up to date, the stories are super creepy and excellent.  The Curiosities is a collection of stories by Maggie Stiefvatter, Tessa Gratton and Brenna Yovanoff.  In it, the ladies publish stories that include notes to each other about their writing, sketches and more.  Readers get a little insight into the writing process.   I plan to read to my 8th graders all day tomorrow and Friday in celebration of Halloween.
