A Samhain Shelf: Dark Gifts for the Season
Hand-picked candles, gothic books and steel for Samhain and Halloween, chosen by Horns & Halos.
The nights are long now, so we picked things worth keeping. Each one was chosen by hand for people who live the season all year.
Light the candles
Black pillar candles, tall black tapers and a five-arm black candelabra. Everything candlelight needs for the long nights is together in one place. See the under-10 picks · See the under-25 picks
Read by candlelight
Interview with the Vampire (Halos) is lush, grieving and elegant. Frankenstein (Horns) is the original creation myth of the dark, and it stays wise and humane every time you reread it. See the under-25 picks
Wear the season
A black heart choker for every day, and a stainless signet ring in black or silver so you can choose your side. See the under-10 picks
