The ArcaMax Book Club ( http://www.arcamax.com/books/ ), which has been offeringfree classics online for nearly a year, is featuring several of its Halloweenclassics for the holiday season in its 2006 Halloween feature (http://www.arcamax.com/arcap ub/s-121915-834126 ). Families can find well-knownstories, as well as read some new ones, as part of this guide, which also includessafety and costume tips.
"Our books are available free all year round," says ArcaMax managing editor HughSpain, "but we like to feature special books of interest from the hundreds we haveavailable. And right now, it's the perfect time of year for stories like 'SleepyHollow,' that kids can enjoy with their families. A good classic scary story can bea lot more fun and interesting than some modern offerings."
Classics are what the ArcaMax Book Club is all about, and readers have been enjoyingthe more than 600 available online. With a free subscription, a reader receives achapter a day of their book of choice by e-mail. There is also a "bookmarking"option, so that ambitious readers can read ahead on the Web site and pick up wherethey left off the next day. Busy subscribers who need time to catch up can eitherdo so on the site, or reset their bookmark to whichever chapter they read last.
Currently, the top-ranked book in the Book Club is H.G. Wells's "The War of theWorlds" ( http://www.arcamax.com/scifi/b -1010 ) -- which many enjoy reading on thedate of the original radio broadcast that terrified listeners everywhere. Onereader calls the opportunity to read "The War of the Worlds" on Halloween "reallyfun," and admits, "I've always wanted to, but I never bought a copy. I'm so glad Ifound it free online, and in a format that's so easy to read."
This praise is a common response, according to Spain. "A lot of people just don'tpick up copies of certain books, or they think they don't have time to read them. Offering them a little at a time, and in a way that's easy to read after work orfirst thing in the morning, is something readers really appreciate. One of the bestparts is that we're making it available free, which is a nice surprise for manypeople in the online world of 'free trials' and hidden fees."
