What to read when you want witchy vibes for Halloween, from Erin Sterling, author of The Ex Hex
—to recommend some witchy, Halloween-inspired reads for the Jezebel audience. Her suggestions are below!This is, hands-down, the book I recommend the most often to people. Deeply eerie and compulsively readable, it’s told as an oral history tracing the rise and fall of a fictional acid-folk band called “Windhollow Faire,” and the summer they spent at the titular house, composing their most famous album.
Schiff does an amazing job of really getting into the weeds of this particularly bizarre piece of American history, separating truth from fiction and presenting a clear-eyed portrait of just how something like this happened. Also, she dismisses the “ergot theory,” my most hated Salem Witch Trials Conspiracy Theory, so this book gets extra points for My Personal Vindication.
