I have just finished reviewing a new book entitled "The Haunted Ukulele." 59 ghoulishly delightful songs with chords, strumming patterns, and in some cases tabs. They range in difficulty from easy to moderately challenging. I can't imagine finding half these songs on my own, and some are originals. The tutorials on the author's website are clear and easy to follow. It's available in hard and e-copies. Reviews on Amazon are all 5 stars. Interested in spooky songs? Check it out.

The omission of "The Cockroach that Ate Cincinnati" is a glaring oversight!

Apart from that(!) it looks pretty cool. Thanks for letting us know it's out there.

What, exactly, is Dracula's theme song?

Some really good ones in this book. My uke group is doing easy stuff like The Addams Family, Ghost Riders in the Sky, and Love Potion #9.

Lots of songs I've never heard of. That's why he's doing tutorials for all of them.

Always a good song for Ukulele and Halloween is "With her head tucked underneath her arm". A British Music Hall classic written by Bert Lee.

This vid should give you some performance ideas:

You should be able to pick up the chords from this vid:

Ghost Riders In The Sky is a good ghoulish tune as well.
