There’s less than a week left before Halloween night, dear readers, which means you have less than a week to come up with a brilliant Halloween costume for all your parties and trick or treating adventures. In case you’re like me and have been a bit lax about figuring out what you’re going to be this year, I’ve gone onto the ever handy Google machine and found a number of different literary costume ideas for you (and your dog!) that will put all the other costumes to shame. I mean, would you really rather go as a black cat than as Margaret Atwood, like this guy did?

I think not.
