I love the Banette and Shuppet in the back lol. Must have for me.

For me Washington Irving is my go to when I’m in a down mood or want to get temporarily sucked into a funny yet cozy setting. I originally found him after watching Disney’s Ichabod and Mr. Toad as a kid. After reading his work from a Barnes and Noble paperback, I began tracking down some early editions from Putnam. Under their Knickerbocker Press imprint, they published deluxe editions of his works with collaborations from many artists including F.O.C Darley and Arthur Rackham. Irving isn’t known much outside The Legend of Sleepy Hollow or Rip Van Winkle but I definitely feel he’s underrated.

The works of Washington Irving are some of my favorite stories. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is foundational for my love of autumn and Halloween. Here’s my collection of Putnam’s editions of his works, they were published under The Knickerbocker Press imprint

This edition is limited to 350 copies and has an afterword by Alice Walker and wood engraving illustrations from Chris Daunt. The edition is signed by both of them as well.

The book is introduced by her son Laurence Jackson Hyman and illustrated by her grandson. Limited to 26 lettered copies plus a few PCs. Signed by both father and son.

These spooky books were published under Suntup Editions. The Yellow Wallpaper and The Lottery are masterclasses in short fiction, and Psycho serves as the progenitor for the slasher genre many of us enjoy on Spooky season 🎃👻🦇

Love this short story so much, great comfort read in autumn and honestly any time of the year
