A reading program designed to introduce new horror authors to readers & to help librarians with horror RA. Titles include adult, YA, & MG. Time to get scared!
- Keep an eye on the calendar, ghosts and ghouls... Friday, February 13th, is going to be very special this year...

- Oh, spooky friends. Your Summer Scares team met this morning and we made some terrifying decisions...
- Happy Halloween, banshees and ghouls! Your social media goblin has been buried but I'm so excited to let you know that JENNIFER MCMAHON is this year's spokesperson! We are just delighted that she is joining our group of horrors.
