Book Description

The October Moon signals a time when New Englanders gather at harvest festivals, church suppers, and apple pressings to listen to stories that prepare them for the dark days of winter. These four original ghost stories won Audioworld's Golden Headset Award for best children's audio.

Editorial Reviews

From AudioFile

Levitt is both creator and performer in this collection of spooky New England tales. His style is distinctive, his voice clear and well-modulated, his characters fully voiced. Eerie sound effects and music are used extensively and appropriately. A feature of Levitt's style is a consistently slow pace and extensive repetition of both phrases and events. While at times these work to good effect, at other times they slow the story's pace and diminish excitement. The publisher's recommendation of an audience of nine and up is right on the mark as none of the stories are excessively gruesome or frightening. The cover illustration will attract listeners. T.B.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully haunting, wonderfully New England, January 1, 2007
This review is from: Tales of an October Moon (Audio Cassette)
I have had this audio book since it's release in 1992, My mom had a Halloween party every year and it was one of the costume contest prizes. Thanks goodness she bought enough to keep one. These stories, though created by Mr Levitt, are steeped with age and the stuff of old New England legend- or just feel that way. Either way it's credit to his talent. I spent years waiting for my kids to be old enough to share it with them. Now my oldest is and she just eats it up.

The four stories are: The Little Skelliton Girl (possibly my very favorite!)/The Scituate River(the stuff of Urban Legend)/ The Old Man of the Stone Wall (an other favorite)/ The Purple Bishop (saving the spookiest for the end)

Publishers recommendation of ages 9 and over is appropriate. Though if you have a younger one how loves the spooky stuff, listen ahead, some are more scary than others and you can introduce the gentler stories.

Levitt's voice and vocal work is superb and the music and sound effects round off this performance beautifully.
