Rogers covers a wide range of ideas related to the dark holiday, particularly given the book's length. It also helps that he writes well, so you breeze easily through even some of the more fact-and-figure intensive sections. Interesting, informative, and a great October read.
The book addresses the origins of Halloween, its history in Britain and North America, its similarities to Mexico's "Day of the Dead," urban legends and popular reactions to the holiday, its representation in Hollywood, current celebration trends, and some guesses about the holiday's future.

While I learned some interesting background on Halloween, this book was very disorganized and repetitive.

Not quite as good/informative as I'd hoped it would be, but there is some interesting info about the history of Halloween contained therein. That being said, I think there are better books out there on the subject.
