I bet you want to celebrate an alternative, quieter Halloween, perhaps as true intellectuals as we like.
For all those women, but there are also many men like that, who like us love books and can’t wait to get lost in the pages of a good book, here are some themed books you absolutely can’t miss, very dark and gothic perfect for Halloween.
Mysterious atmospheres and a dark, dark world with a gothic atmosphere are the most typical for this fearful holiday, and I think a beautiful book with all these characteristics is perfect for Halloween, for a day as true intellectuals who, however, don’t want to give up having a little fun in the company of wizards and witches.
Celebrating with books is always helpful and in my own right is the best celebration possible, culture never disappoints and makes us grow culturally, it makes us open our eyes and minds, it teaches us not to judge others, to make better decisions.
Of course, there are also those who for religious or other reasons don’t want or can’t celebrate Halloween, but I think that ultimately, reading a book is always a good thing. Immersing yourself in a fantastic story full of twists and turns with surprising characters can be a beautiful experience. And there are plenty of non-Halloween books that will be glued to the last page.
Reading, the joy of life that allows us to transport ourselves to a thousand different places, to live a thousand lives through all the characters, to be in different eras and perhaps understand what life was like in places and years so different from our own, we can also retrace myths, stories and legends that can really make us discover very distant territories and ancient cultures that perhaps we have never heard of.
