Halloween has been referred to as the Devil's holiday, but all 365 1/4 days were created by and belong to Jesus. If Satan usurps even one day it is our Christian duty and responsibility to reclaim and redeem it in the name of our Lord. Are the imaginary ghouls and goblins of Halloween any more wicked than the jolly elf called Santa Claus, or the Easter bunny? Should the Church stop celebrating these holy days, the bookends of our faith, as well? Instead of battling the spiritual enemy on Halloween, the Church is guilty of crossing swords with one another. We fight among ourselves, not about "how" to celebrate Halloween, but whether it should even be observed. Jesus is more the "reason for the season" on Halloween than He is at Christmas. The Church must realize it is forfeiting Halloween as an opportunity to glorify the Prince of Peace, the One who has given us the victory over the "prince of darkness" and his evil minions. The Way, the Truth and the Life has conquered Death and the grave. By dressing up in costumes and portraying frightening creatures who at one time caused us to fear and tremble, we are not glorifying Satan. Rather, we are poking fun at the Serpent whose kingdom has been plundered by our Savior, and whose head has been crushed! Should we celebrate Halloween? The question is, "How can we not?" Halloween, Hallowed is Thy Name offers a believer confidence and joy in expressing the greeting "Happy Halloween."

In Northern Ireland, Halloween is such a major celebration that it is often called the Irish Christmas. A day of family reunions, meals, and fun, Halloween brings people of all ages together with rhyming, storytelling, family fireworks, and community bonfires. Perhaps most important, it has become a day that transcends the social conflict found in this often troubled nation. Through the extensive use of interviews, The Hallowed Eve offers a fascinating look at the various customs, both past and present, that mark the celebration of the holiday. Looking through the lenses of gender, ethnicity, and religious affiliation, Jack Santino examines how the traditions exist in a nonthreatening, celebratory way to provide a model of how life could be in Northern Ireland. Halloween, concludes Santino, is a marriage of death and life, a joining of cultural opposites: indoor and outdoor, domesticity and wildness, male and female, old and young. Although current folk and popular traditions can be divisive, Halloween in Northern Ireland is universally considered to belong to everyone, regardless of their background or political leanings. The holiday is a dramatic example of how a community comes together one day a year, and these Northern Irish traditions capture the fundamental and everyday dimensions of life in Ulster.

Phillip Collier is a gay man haunted by the woman in his dreams. She's beautiful, tempting, and self-assured in her affect on the opposite sex. Phillip's dreams are just the thing his grandfather, a retired Fundamentalist minister, has been praying for. It must be a sign from God and Pastor is ecstatic, even if the woman is only a figment of his grandson's imagination. Imagine Phillip's astonishment when he sees a sixty-year-old portrait of a woman named Audrey Russell who's a dead ringer for the woman in his dreams. But Phillip has a bigger problem than trying to make Pastor understand why he's not romantically interested in women. Not only is he trying to figure out what makes his grandmother panic with near hysteria when she sees Audrey's portrait, he's wondering why a band of gypsies has suddenly become so treacherous. When the bunch of gypsies is caught beating up Keven, Phillip's life partner, the Collier family uncovers a gypsy curse that is more than just a threat. Is the Collier family the target of evil gypsy lore that promises punishment for past transgressions and the lies of hallowed illusions?

Hallowed Days is a collection of stories relating to two of the most iconic festivals of the year (as well as certain others). In "Pact of the Lantern," a trio of goblins strike out against the old seasonal traditions. In "Krampusnacht," a late-night holiday party devolves into an ancient winter custom of debauchery and dread. In "Eggshells," a man reminisces with his brother over a childhood egg hunt, while a boy follows his father into a bald eagle preserve in "Eagle Lights." Through it all, the seasons will change, and nightmares will be had. Rituals play out, and demons are, perhaps, banished for a time.
