Words, like incantations, can serve as the backbone of any Halloween spectacle. Stories complement images to conjure a delightfully spooky mood. Throughout October, A House, Haunted has been bewitched (cursed?) by rhyming verse, behind-the-scenes tales of Artists Book House, and other creepy content written by Todd Summar.
