About this listen

What do bonfires, black cats, sexy nurses, and soul cakes have in common? They all live inside Halloween — a holiday that’s part ancient ritual, part capitalist fever dream, and all vibes. In Trick or Treat: A Spooky Little Halloween History, JJ unwraps the strange evolution of October 31st — from Celtic bonfire nights and Catholic ghost cleanups to suburban mischief, horror movies, and candy-fueled chaos. This is not your average history book. It’s a sharp and slightly haunted walkthrough of one of humanity’s weirdest, most wonderful traditions. Whether you’re a lifelong lover of spooky season or just want to know why razor blade myths won’t die, this little book is your candle in the dark. Put on your mask. The night is young.
