Delightful and Sweet Bookish Ghost Goods

I live for the season of the witch and in my mind, the season of the witch is all day every day. But there is something about fall, about the changing of seasons and the increasing darkness, that turns witching season into another great season: ghost season. Ghosts are so much fun because they can be creepy and scary as much as they can be cute and cuddly. So of course, combining ghosts with all things books scratches a specific — and perfect — seasonal itch.

Ghosts and books go together well, if you believe pop culture. From Ghostbusters to haunted libraries, the spirits live spending time browsing or dropping or otherwise engaging with tomes old and new. I like to believe that ghosts realize they didn’t finish their towering TBRs while on the side of the living, so they’re trying to catch up (and we don’t actually know by any scientific means if they do or don’t read because how would we know what happens in the ghost world?). It makes sense, then, there are so many great bookish ghost goods to check out.

From tees to prints and more, pick up some of these fabulous and fun bookish ghost goods for a more festive spooky season.
