"Due to social obligations that include handing out gift coupons and checking apples for needles, Halloween is perhaps best handled by just being haunted by a book.&amp;nbsp;Here are three recent releases that embrace the dark, and are low on snark. The Twelve / Justin Cronin / Ballantine / $28, 568 pages\n\tBrutal, blasphemous and unabashedly bookish, Justin Cronin's sequel to his modern bloodsucker plague classic&amp;nbsp;The Passage&amp;nbsp;pits immortality against immorality and happily satisfies the appetite for apocalypse tales like&amp;nbsp;Swan Song&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;The Stand,&amp;nbsp;while providing a role model heroine that horror fans will be eager to role-play within."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
