This was a collection of stories by various authors all taking place at Halloween. The stories vary in nature. They also vary in the audience they are serving and in the quality of the story. Some of them I liked and some of them I didn’t. **I voluntarily read and reviewed this book
I’m giving The Halloween Children a solid four stars because it created a smothering sense of creepiness and managed to maintain it throughout the entire story and it held my attention from beginning to end. You know from the beginning that something terrible is coming but you’re never sure exactly ...
Halloween Carnival Volume 5 is the last book in a 5 book series. Each book features 5 short stories written by a different author. These books are pretty short. Only takes a little over an hour to read the whole book. A new book will be released each week of October in 2017. This book the final book...
Quite possibly the best Halloween book I've ever read, reading The Halloween Children has become my yearly tradition. Since it was originally only available as a signed/limited edition from Earthling Press, I was somewhere north of stoked when Hydra decided to release this as an e-book. I was even m...
The Halloween Children has an interesting format. Right from the beginning you’re aware that something horrible has happened, but you don’t know exactly what.

Release Date: 04.25.17 This was my first Dark Screams collection, but it certainly won't be my last. Color me impressed! While I wasn't particularly scared by any of these stories, most of them do deal with dark themes and toe the line between natural and unnatural. They range in voice and style...
Chizmar and Freeman put together another good collection of shorts in the latest volume of the Dark Screams series. Volume 6. My favorite story (and by far the longest in the collection) was THE CORPSE KING by Tim Curran. Couldn’t ask for a much better theme for Curran to let loose on than grave rob...
Wow what a read! This book is filled with 6 creepy stories from some of the top horror writers. If you are not familiar with a writer this is a great way to be introduced. Each story has it own creep factors to it. The stories are short so great for on the go. This was my introduction to the seri...
My favorite so far out of the Dark Screams series, Volume Six delivers the goods. I knew I had to have it when I saw the lineup of some of my favorite authors, including Stephen King and Tim Curran. I had been meaning to read Joyce Carol Oates and was not disappointed. I honestly loved 4/5 stories w...
A new October classic. (Yes, I am aware that it is March as I am writing this review.) As Halloween looms, tensions are building between the members of the Naylor family. Relations are getting woefully strained. Fractured. Violent. To top it off the annual Stillbrook Apartment Halloween party has b...
