About The Author

Frank Woods' love for all things Halloween goes back to his childhood in Philadelphia. For him, Halloween wasn't about something sinister but was a time when imagination and creativity took center stage. His mother would decorate their rowhouse with cutouts of witches, ghosts, goblins, and werewolves, transforming their home into a Halloween wonderland. These memories sparked the idea for the first book in the Longest Halloween series. Frank recalls the homespun costumes, the Dorrie and Old Black Witch children's books, and the little orange UNICEF boxes carried to brightly lit homes in search of treats. Through his books, he hopes to capture the spirit of this simpler, less complex time.
