HAUNTED NIGHTS

If you're in the mood for a good horror anthology, this is it. I zipped through it in two days. Would have been less if I hadn't had to work. Considering I've been poking through a Tanith Lee vampire anthology for like a month now, speed-reading is clearly the sign of a good anthology.

All the stories are either Halloween-themed or similar holidays. Not one is bad, although some are better than others. The standouts were:
"A Small Taste of the Old Country" by Jonathan Maberry
"Sisters" by Brian Evenson
"All Through the Night" by Elise Forier Edie
"A Kingdom of Sugar Skulls and Marigolds" by Eric J. Guignard
"The Turn" by Paul Kane
"Lost in the Dark" by John Langan
