"Using a mix of personal anecdotes and perceptive social analysis, Skal examines the amazing phenomenon of Halloween, exploring its dark Celtic history and illuminating why it has evolved - in the course of a few short generations - from a quaint small-scale celebration into the largest seasonal marketing event outside of Christmas."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Details

First Sentence

"ALL IT SAMHAIN, Summer's End, All Hallows' Eve, November Eve, or Witches' Night - Halloween has its essential roots in the terrors of the primitive mind, which made no distinction between the waning of the sun and the potential extinction of the self."
