Knock Knock: A Halloween Thriller Short Story

by Chantilly White

It’s Halloween, and just about everyone’s in costume. Pretending to be someone—or something—they’re not. A princess. A pirate. A monster. But once in a while, the real monster is hiding behind the mask… Professor Harvey G. Lockwood is a respected faculty member at a popular Northwest university. He’s tenured. Reliable. Efficient. To his colleagues, he’s pleasant and professional. A bit pedantic, but who isn’t? His students say he’s… tediously dull. Not the guy you want to chat up in the Student Union. But Professor Lockwood has a secret. A dark, delicious, deadly little secret. And Halloween is the perfect night to let the monster out of the closet… Trick-or-treat, bitches

Reviews

[Dana Delamar · Rating 5 out of 5]

4.5 stars. A very clever and entertaining short story. I thought I knew how it was going to go, but it defied my expectations several times, and the black humor made me chuckle at the end. Very well done! I'll definitely read more horror by this author.
