Frightful October: Tales of Halloween Horror

by Paul Melniczek

"Frightful October" takes you across shadowed cornfields and along the twilight streets of suburban neighborhoods, beneath dark forests and through haunted houses, in this short story collection centered around Halloween and the darker aspects of the fall month. These chilling tales can be whispered before an autumn bonfire, or in the confines of an evening chair, but regardless of the surroundings, the terrifying atmosphere has already been set in place, and you're the invited guest. You'll have shivers crawling your spine, as you turn each dreadful page of this wickedly delightful book.

Frightful October is a collection of Halloween tales. I enjoyed all the stories; there wasn't a bad one in the bunch. This will be a fun annual read, and I also plan to loan it to my horror-loving 15-year-old.

Fair to decent collection of Halloween stories. No stinkers, but no real standouts either.
