<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial">Did you
have such a good time with Celebrate Your Freedom to Read in </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial">Oregon</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial"> (Banned Books Week) that you would
like to expand it into more than a week?<span>
</span>October, the month of Halloween and all things scary, is a great
opportunity to do just that.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial">A few
successful books into his career, author Stephen King told about his editor coming
to him and telling him that now that he’d had some successes with his horror novels,
he needed to write something different or people were going to think he really liked
this kind of stuff.<span> </span>King smiled with an
appropriately scary smile, nodded eagerly, and said, “But I do. I really do.”<span> </span>Look where his delight in what he described
as preying on the ordinary fears of people has taken him.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial">Stephen
King is not the only person who delights in scary, suspenseful stories.<span> </span>Many readers love a good tale of suspense,
horror, or fantasy.<span> </span>But quite a few of
those titles end up on lists of frequently challenged books.<span> </span>Reasons given include occult or satanic
themes, violence, unsuited to age group, witchcraft and magic, and against
religious beliefs.<span> </span>Still, many readers
of all ages eagerly seek them out (and not just at Halloween).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial">Is your
Halloween display already up?<span> </span>Consider
adding some reminders that quite a few of these books sought after in October
have also made appearances on lists of challenged books, some of them year
after year.<span> </span>Here are a few resources and
titles to get you started.</span></p>
