Halloween Book Donation Drive for Texas Prisons
October 14, 2023
Ghoulish Books is partnering with the Inside Books Project for a fun, important horror book drive.
On Saturday, October 14th, from 10am-8pm, we will be accepting horror book donations for those incarcerated in Texas. Simply drop them off at our bookstore in Selma and we’ll take care of the rest. We will also give out a gnarly BANNING BOOKS ONLY MAKE US SCARIER sticker to anybody who chooses to donate.
Our address:
Ghoulish Books
9330 Corporate Drive
Suite #702
Selma, TX 78154
For this donation drive, we are only really interested in literature that can be labeled horror, as this genre is often requested by prisoners and we would love to help satisfy that demand.
For those who are not local and wish to contribute, please send your donations to Max Booth III, PO Box 1104, Cibolo, TX 78108.
Books we CANNOT accept as donations:
-
Books in poor condition (water damaged, ripped or missing cover, old/falling apart)
-
Hardcover fiction – these books are too heavy to mail
-
Encyclopedias – these are too heavy to mail
-
Blank journals / composition books – these have sadly been banned

Books with nudity or partial nudity (i.e. string bikinis) – these are banned
-
Spiral bound books – these are banned
