Halloween History Zines
What's the relationship between Samhain and Halloween? What sorts of divination games were played that night? Where did trick-or-treating come from? What about the Jack-o'-lantern? I have written two zines about the history of Halloween! They are published by Microcosm, or you can get PDFs on itch.io.

Hallowzine #1 contains the essays "From Samhain to Hallowtide" & "Halloween Divination."

I love Microcosm, and have backed projects of theirs on Kickstarter. What an exciting meeting of worlds this is for me! And congratulations.
