The witching hour is fast approaching. Be prepared this Halloween and always have the right book in your arsenal. Have the right spell to hand, or an ancient map, or know exactly how to defeat monsters and dragons. If all else fails, get under the quilt and be instantly transported to lands far far away. 🎃🦇🧟‍♂️
