Welcome Kindred Spirits!

If you’ve ever found yourself drawn to the glow of a jack-o’-lantern, whispered to the shadows beneath your bed or wished you could step inside the pages of a haunted fairy tale, then you, my fiendish friend, are exactly where you should be.

This is a place where the eerie meets the enchanting, where the alternative is celebrated and where no one ever has to wait until Halloween to revel in the marvellous macabre. Think of it as your personal spooky library, your curiosity portal, your ‘one stop spot’ for the spooky, kooky, magical, fantastical, weird and wonderful world(s) of Children’s Literature & Illustration, if you will.

Whether you’re a groan-up searching for the perfect first spooky story, a haunted librarian conjuring up a Halloween display, a curious teacher exploring topic lists, or simply someone who believes spooky season should last all year, you’ve found your place… and your people!

So, wander through my shelves, peek inside my curated collections. Dust off that forgotten knowledge and discover your next favourite spooky story. Or, pull up a chair ‘Around the Cauldron’ and lose yourself in magical conversations, Or explore a growing library of reviews, reading guides, resources and recommendations lovingly gathered for readers, educators and fellow spooky souls alike.

My library doors are always open…are you ready? 🎃
