Devil's Hill: A Horror Anthology
R.L. Stine has Fear Street, Stephen King has Castle Rock, Steven Reyes has Devil’s Hill.
From the mind of author Steven Reyes, comes his debut horror anthology full of 18 terrifying Halloween stories that will keep you thinking long after the tales have been read.
Welcome to Devil’s Hill, Arizona; it is a place that runs rampant with the occult, the paranormal, the supernatural, the macabre, killers, and everything that makes you think there’s something behind you or in the closet. Devil’s Hill is definitely not like every other city; other cities should be thankful. And now, during Halloween, things are worse than before.
It's the darker half of the year. Cold weather begins and dead leaves are around us. Short days and long nights provide the perfect setting for ghost stories. And on every Halloween, the veil between the dead and the living is at its thinnest. But this year, the veil is completely gone, allowing spirits, deities, the unexplainable, and true evil to roam the town of Devil's Hill, Arizona freely.
After a group of teenage witches summon an ancient deity into a scarecrow, all hell breaks loose and the veil between the dead and the living is broken. Each of the 18 stories in Devil's Hill is different and unique, but they all connect to the underlying cause of what the witches have summoned. Halloween in Devil's Hill is about to be the scariest one ever.

About the author
Steven Reyes
11 books7 followersSteven Reyes landed on planet Earth in the year of 1987. "It's The End of the World as We Know It" by R.E.M. played as he was recovered from his tiny metal spaceship from planet Grody to the Max. The place he landed on was in the desert of Tucson, Arizona. Steven Reyes made it snow that Christmas - look it up. He was just that cool.
As time went on, Steven Reyes was fixated with super heroes, comics, and books. He spent his Saturday mornings watching Spider-Man and X-Men. His evenings were always reserved to Batman: The Animated Series. He also took a liking to drawing and reading comics.
At eight years of age, Steven Reyes discovered Goosebumps. Once he started reading the children's horror books by R.L. Stine he knew what he wanted to do: be a writer. Steven Reyes began writing his own short stories, longhand, in numerous notebooks. He also wrote fan-fiction before it was a thing. He wrote fan-fiction based on Pierce Brosnan's James Bond.
When Steven Reyes was a teenager - a geek disguised as an Outsider, he decided to make music (rapping and producing) instead of writing. Well, long story short, that didn't really work out. In 2013, Steven Reyes picked up his first Stephen King book and fell in love with writing all over again. He began writing really bad stories with horrible grammar but he read On Writing by Stephen King and took writing classes in college. Steven was determined to be an author.
After a full year of being known as E. Reyes and releasing two horror anthologies (Welcome to Devil's Hill and The Halloween Special), Steven decided to have a clean start. E. became Steven (real name Esteban) and decided to combine the best stories from his past two releases and call it Devil's Hill. Steven Reyes's first accepted submitted story (under E. Reyes) is one about President Trump ("Trump vs the Zombies") which appears in the Dark Heelix Press anthology: Trump: Utopia or Dystopia?
Steven Reyes will be writing fiction novels - horror and super hero ones, and hopes to write some movies and television shows and graphic novels. Steven Reyes plans to share all of his stories with the world. Planet Gordy to the Max is so, like, old news. He lives with his loving family in Arizona.

Not a great place to live!
I love horror short stories, I do! This book covers all the bases, witches, monsters, demons and ghosts all set in this horribly cursed town. How anyone made it out alive is beyond me. Now the hard part of reviewing a short story collection is not all stories are 4 stars, so I averaged it out. 3 was too low as over all rating because some of not most of these stories are awesome! My favorite First Day on the Job is 5 stars and would like too see a longer stand alone book on this one. A hired ghost hit man for the devil to be a vigilante for souls for hell? Yes more please!! Each story was well written and plenty of blood, gore, humor? Yes.. and super entertaining. Halloween read for sure! Pick it up and enjoy!!

Don’t read before bed
A collection of scary stories, all set in the town of Devil’s Hill around Halloween. This is not a town I would like to visit, as some extremely nasty things are going bump in the night. I made the mistake of reading this book in bed at night and succeeded in creeping myself out. Some of the writing is a little rough, especially at the start of the book, and there is a lot of swearing. However, if you are looking for a good scare, you can’t go wrong with this collection. Highly recommended.

This collection is definitely a throwback to the old Goosebumps and Are You Afraid of the Dark? series, hell, you can even throw in Creepshow with that but add more gore, blood, guts and the occasional bad word. FOr those who love short tales of the macabre, this is for you! Get it now, you won't be disappointed.

This was a great read!! I loved all these stories. I loved all the references to things like Stephen King, Clowns, drugged candy, and creepy dolls! I’m a super- fan for life!
