Here at HoL, we love all things spooky and all things stationery.

So we decided to combine the two, in our first-ever Writual set: our Jessica Rose x HoL-loween Collection!

Lovingly curated to complement our books, this seasonal celebration is packed with tools to elevate the exercise of putting pen to paper — whether you’re writing a grocery list, researching your next essay, or crafting the juicy plot twist of your debut novel!

With 15 items — all of which have been carefully chosen for their mindful and practical ability (especially to help readers and writers to focus, romanticise, and manifest) — it includes:

🖋️ autumnal pens & stationery
📓 an Annabelle-inspired notebook
📑 spooky annotation & organizational tools
👻 exclusive stickers designed by featured artist Jessica Rose
🫖 Northern Irish tea
🖤 and more…

The collection is named after the nostalgia and magic of Halloween, a joy and mindset we believe should be invoked and experienced all year to help us slow down and be present — especially as part of your reading and writing (W)ritual.

Your Writual is your unique routine to consistently nurture your writing (to build productive writing habits and get results), and encourage mindful reading (as part of your self-care routine).

While the collection is definitely a treat — a ghoulish gift for yourself or the horror-hound in your life — the trick is that it's super-limited, with just 25 available!

Ready to manifest your Writual with the Halloween mindset? Take a tour of the collection below...

NOTEBOOK
Conjure those creative demons with our Warning, Positively Do Not Open notebook.

FSC-certified and containing 192 cream-coloured lined pages (80 g/m²), the silver hardcover is complemented by a silver silk ribbon and elastic fastener.

Also includes a storage compartment for all those ‘Miss me?’ notes you keep finding…

Elegant and subtle, it's the perfect conduit for writers who aren’t afraid of a little demonic possession.

Measures 14.5 x 1.5 x 21 cm.

PEN SET
Let’s just say we’re stationery enthusiasts at HoL, so we’ve got you covered when it comes to perfect pens!

Designed for autumnal annotation and organisation, our pen set combines a Zebra Sarasa gel pen (with clip) in vintage sepia black (0.5 mm) and a Zebra Mildliner double-sided highlighter in mild honey orange (fine / bold).

The pens are entombed in a black faux-leather pen pouch, complete with silver hardware and an elastic book band — the perfect addition to any book.

Stylish, simple, and so easy when you’re on the go — no more bulging pencil cases or digging through bags for lost pens! — just attach your pen pouch to your book of choice before heading out to your fave cosy haunt (ideally to sip on a seasonal beverage as you put pen to paper...).

FEATURED ARTIST: JESSICA ROSE COLLECTION
And speaking of reading, we are so excited to share Jessica Rose’s exclusive Halloween designs for the collection, which includes three book trackers, Print Is Undead bookworms, and seasonal House of Leaves stickers.

Our haunted Halloween book tracker has been specially designed for the holiday, and includes 39 spaces on the shelf for your own curated collection.

Whether you’re recording your spooky TBR, favourite found-footage books, or compiling a research list, have some fun (and don’t forget to share your lists with us on socials)!

How cute is our undead bookworm?! We’re in love, and we hope you will be too as she sits proudly between the pages of your undead library.

We always get so many compliments about our Print Is Undead stickers, so we hope you love our seasonal HoL pumpkin sticker as much as we do!

Featuring our logo, the vibrant, high-gloss sticker measures 5.2 x 5.2 cm, making it the ideal size for laptop logos, tablet and kindle cases, or phone covers.

ANNOTATION SET
Whether you’re reading for research or pleasure, our page marker sets are the perfect palette for autumn, and those dark academia vibes…

Bursting with 10 warm, rich, and earthy colours, each with 20 tabs, that’s a total of 200 page markers to plan, organise, and romanticise your reading experience.

The durable page markers are writable and come backed on a handy ruler (that can be inserted into loose-leaf notebooks, is perfect for bullet journaling, and doubles as a bookmark). Please note that design may vary.

Add some seasonal charm to your study, journal, or annotating sessions with our adorable pumpkin-shaped sticky notes and paper clips, Halloween washi tape, and seasonal stickers.

Burnt orange with the cutest jack-o-lantern design, each pumpkin-shaped sticky note set contains 50 sheets and measures 8 x 7 cm.

The collection contains three pumpkin-shaped paper clips in fiery orange, each measuring 3 x 3 cm.

This set also includes a Halloween-themed washi tape (please note that design may vary).

If you’re new to washi tape, this low-tack adhesive is a fun way to play around with paper crafts and decorate notebooks etc.

The name refers to traditional Japanese paper made from natural fibres such as bamboo, rice, and wheat.

Each collection also contains three assorted seasonal stickers. Please note that design may vary, but definitely includes the sweetest boo(k) ghost!

HEX LIBRIS SET
We’ve also included a set of five Hex Libris bookplates.

Featuring specially designed hand-lettering, our gothic, monochrome bookplates can be used to catalogue your home library, personalise your planner, or organise your writing projects.

BREW
The collection wouldn’t be complete without tea, so you’ll find two sachets of signature black tea from S.D. Bell & Co. Ltd., Northern Ireland’s oldest independent tea blenders and coffee roasters (since 1887).

A blend of the finest quality Indian and Kenyan tea, this rich, bright liquor is bursting with flavour and perfect for a dark, autumnal evening…

STAY SPOOKY
We simply had to include a pin, and we couldn’t resist this adorable metal bat — especially as it contains our signature slogan…

Happy Halloween... and stay spooky!
