A great mix of stories to set the mood for Halloween (or anytime, since I didn't finish the book until January). The stories give equal coverage to all of the seasonal themes--pumkins, ghosts, witches, and even El Dia De Los Muertos. The stories range from humorous ("Auntie Elspeth's Halloween Story"), endearing ("One Thin Dime"), to expectedly spooky ("Man-Size in Marble", "The Great Pumpkin Arrives at Last",and "The October Game"). Those looking for just horror stories may be disapointed, but it's definitely worthwhile for anyone looking for a good mix of Halloween tales.

What do You think about Halloween (2011)?
The stories in the book were good but the amount of typos ruined the reading experience for me.

This was a great compilation. The stories were more diverse than i thought they would be.

Stories are great. But the editor actually needs to edit the book.

Original stories, all are pretty good, some very creepy.
