Halloween is more than costumes, candy, and a night of carefully managed fright. It is a threshold in the year: a season of fading light, returning memory, restless dead, divination, masks, fire, and the uneasy sense that the ordinary world has become briefly permeable.

The Grimoire of All Hallows' Eve follows the long, tangled history behind the modern holiday. Zoë Roberts traces the changing meanings of Samhain, All Saints' and All Souls' Days, folk belief, witchcraft, death customs, guising, jack-o'-lanterns, fortune-telling, graveyards, ghost stories, and the modern occult imagination. Along the way, the book separates historical evidence from later folklore, literary invention, and contemporary spiritual practice-without draining Halloween of the strange power that made it endure.
