Susan Rich is the editor of “Half-Minute Horrors”, a new anthology of instant frights for young readers by a stellar line-up of writers and illustrators including Margaret Atwood, Neil Gaiman, Adam Rex and Lemony Snicket.
Toronto families are invited to attend the launch of this collection of spooky stories on Halloween Saturday at the Gladstone Hotel.
Ms. Rich recently interviewed the mysterious Lemony Snicket exclusively for Bunch.
Susan Rich: Hello Mr Snicket. Thank you for agreeing to speak with us about matters relating to Halloween. Halloween can be a very creepy time. What sorts of things scare you?
Lemony Snicket: Masks, silverfish, a woman I once knew, iced tapioca drinks, injustice, things that jump out suddenly at me in the dark, things that approach me slowly in the dark, corporate hegemony, flickering lightbulbs and bland, self-serving philosophies concerning the world.
SR: Many people who usually dress in regular clothes find Halloween a good time to put on a disguise. Can you tell us about your most successful disguise?
LS: No, but the next time you sit down at your “desk” you might look a bit more closely.

Everyone we know is excited about the “Where the Wild Things Are” movie, opening in theatres on
Friday, October 16th. (If you grew up with Maurice Sendak’s amazing book and if you read it to your kids, you know why). People of all ages have been reconnecting with the book and getting inspired to make some wildly amazing stuff.
On the afternoon of Oct.4th, 2009, at Bunch’s invitation, 700 parents and their wild children
packed the Toronto night club Revival Lounge and had a Wild Rumpus party.
We are sending a challenge out to the world to create your own wild rumpuses. In your basement, in your backyard, or in a night club with 500 other roaring kids channeling their inner Max, we challenge you to be unique and to get inspired to create an experience everyone can enjoy.
