Here is a Halloween space book post for you. I have done posts for Christmas, Easter and Yuri's Night but never one for Halloween.
Space Witch is a pleasant story about a witch who wants to expand her frightening to creatures on other planets. She constructs a "space broom" and a space suit and goes looking for fun and scares. Her big breakthrough was using jet-black magic for fuel. A solution Von Braun had rejected in the early 50s :)
