After reading the first anthology, I knew I would love the second.
If you are looking to read stories centered around Halloween with an old school feel - this is perfect for you.
My favorite stories were:
1. Wanna trade
2. The Bowl on the Stoop
3. Triktreat.exe
4. The Scent of Halloween
5. Chilling, Thrilling sounds
6. Echoes of terror
7. Old Man and the kitchen cabinet
8. Mommy, is that you?
9. Roger and the ghost
10. Things that grow in the dark
11. Tricks
12. Final Halloween

After a rough start, (the first two stories are edited badly), this gets really good with excellent Halloween vibes, ghosts, haunted houses, trick or treat gone bad, witches, paranormal and horror shenanigans and all set in the eighties for a nostalgic hit. The stories are set on Pike Street, in homage to not only Christopher Pike but the Fear Street books by RL Stine. A fun anthology of short spooky season short stories.

This anthology delivers on the Halloween vibes!! Perfect for spooky season, the writers really captured the Halloween spirit in this mixed bag of paranormal, monsters, gore, tricks, treats, festive costumes, and twist endings. I had such a great time with it. Bonus points for all the stories taking place in the 80s and providing an escape from today’s modern technology. I look forward to reading the other books in this series

Chuffed to have a story of mine, The Sorting, in this wonderful Halloween anthology. If you are a lover of Halloween, as I am, this one's a keeper!
