Tomorrow is Halloween, so to help get you into the spirit, we've gathered a bunch of the best scary classics you can find on Google Book Search and added them to our special Halloween books section. You'll find everything from old favorites, like Dracula or Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, to more obscure spooky characters, like the student-turned-zombie out for revenge in Gregory Lamberson's Johnny Gruesome. or the creepy ghost haunting The Old Willis Place in Mary Downing Hahn's tale. These and other fun stories will be featured on the front page of Google Book Search.
And if you're dying for more, you can find other eerie tales at google.com/scarystories. Search the full text to find out who famously uttered "nevermore," why Van Helsing was forced to behead the "bloofer lady" and how Ichabod Crane met his untimely end in a tranquil glen called Sleepy Hollow.
The fun doesn't stop there -- if you see a "Download" button, you're free to download, save, and/or print a PDF version to read at your own pace. If you rediscover an old favorite or new story you want to own in hard copy, the "All editions" link will show you multiple editions, many of which are available for purchase.
Happy Halloween, and as you start this tasty meal of scary tales, bone appétit!

Unlocking access to millions of books

We've always said that in a sense, Google Book Search is as old as Google itself. Back in their Ph.D. days, Larry and Sergey dreamed of a way to make it easier for anyone, anywhere, to access the information held within the world's books.
Today, we're excited to announce an agreement with U.S. authors and publishers that dramatically expands access to millions of books online, taking us one big step closer to fulfilling that dream. If approved by the Court, this agreement will unlock access to millions of out-of-print books to the benefit of users, authors and publishers.
To read more about the agreement, head over to the Official Google Blog. To read more about what this means for users, check out our microsite.

Today marks the birthday of the influential author, Edogawa Rampo, who is well-known and beloved in Japan as the godfather of mystery and detective fiction.
114 years ago today, he was born Hirai Taro in Mie Prefecture. As a young author with a deep interest in Western authors like Arthur Conan Doyle, he turned his love of the great American writer (and sometimes madman) Edgar Allan Poe into his nom de plume, Edogawa Rampo. Hint: say it 5 times fast, let the syllables blur together and the verbal connection should become clear.
Rampo has long been one of my favorite authors, and with a few simple searches on Book Search, I can relive some of the chills and dark pleasures of reading his short stories. The best collection of his work in English, Japanese Tales of Mystery & Imagination, includes such shocking stories as The Human Chair (a story in the form of a letter from an obsessed craftsman to a rich aristocrat’s wife, who encases himself in the chair you are sitting in as you read this, OMG!) and The Caterpillar (a Johnny Get Your Gun-morality tale of a horribly disfigured veteran and his tortuous, psychosexual relationship with his distraught wife upon his return from the battlefields). These and the seven other stories in this collection still give me goosebumps when I read them.
In recent years, there has been an exciting surge of female authors from Japan writing dark and modern suspense novels. Books by Miyuki Miyabe and Natsuo Kirino, for example, have recently enjoyed great success in English, and the seeds of these contemporary tales can be traced back to Rampo. As scholar Amanda Seaman notes:
Rampo is the defining figure of Japanese detective fiction because of his unique ability to combine the suspense story tradition of the Edo period with the scientific methods and logical devices of the Western detective story.
Rampo’s works have also been adapted into a number of films and television programs, and a number of film studies titles on Google Book Search trace his influence on Japanese film. Queer Asian Cinema looks at Rampo’s themes of decadence and Japanese subjectivity, while Outlaw Masters of Japanese Film includes an interview with Kinji Fukasaku (director of Battles Without Honor and Humanity, Tora! Tora! Tora! and Battle Royale) discussing his adaptation of Rampo’s Black Lizard (which featured a cameo by another famous Japanese author, Yukio Mishima).
In his later years during the post-WWII period, Rampo focused on writing critical essays and advocating for the expansion of detective fiction in Japan via the Japan Association of Mystery Writers.
