A first edition of The Halloween Encyclopedia was published by
McFarland in 2003 (Booklist "a worthy addition to public and school
libraries as well as the reference shelves of journalists and
leaders of community events"); it was the first encyclopedic
reference book on the cultural phenomenon (which also deals with
such related holidays as Britain's Guy Fawkes Day, Mexico's Dia de
los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, and the Celtic celebration
Samhain). Now updated to 2010, this second edition includes more
than 50 new entries, covering subjects ranging from Folk Art to
African American legends. Many existing entries have been expanded
and revised, with new entries ("Chronology of Halloween" and
"Halloween in Literature and the Arts") in both appendices. Also
featured are more than a dozen new illustrations, and an expanded
bibliography.
