Some solid stories by Richard Chizmar,Lisa Morton and Others but the centerpiece in my mind is by Robert Morrish. A lot of fun which has you wishing for October.
I'm always stoked to read Halloween books, particularly Halloween short story anthologies even though they're often uneven in quality. I was misled, thinking Cemetery Dance's Chizmar was the editor (instead it's Mark Parker who I haven't heard of), but it features one of his stories."Mister Parker" by Richard ChizmarI swear I've read this in another anthology, and unfortunately it's not one of the highlights. The story follows the title character, a reclusive teacher who suffers a prank gone wro...
A fine collection of Halloween tales. Accomplished writers all. Not a dud in the lot. Well worth the read.
Dark Hallows: 10 Halloween Haunts is a book you’ll love all year long and cherish each Halloween. Kicking off this anthology of horror stories is a gorgeous Halloween cover that precedes interior artwork for each story. The quality of the artwork was a big bonus for the book and is simply a treasure to hold in print format. Following that visual landscape the anthology has a fantastic author lineup and a brilliant Forward by Editor Mark Parker. I can tell you Halloween pumps in this man’s heart....
Pretty good! My fav story was Lisa Morton's The Maze.
Any fan of horror literature will probably agree that Halloween is an exciting time of year. There are always going to be a number of special releases for readers to feast their eyes upon. Why not opt for a fantastic short story collection with a Halloween theme?This new collection is one for readers who love short, chilling stories.The book is a collection of ten dark tales from authors that are well established, and more than capable of giving the reader a fright. If, like me, you enjoy Hallow...
DARK HALLOWS: 10 Halloween Haunts, edited by Mark Parker, consists of ten short stories by various authors, only connected by the central theme of Halloween. There were several stories in this anthology that I had already read elsewhere, but for the most part, those that I had were well worth re-reading.Personal favorites of mine included:--"There Are Corners in the World Where Lost Things Gather", by Robert Morrish. This is one of my top two favorites! While the story started out on a "gentle"
Dark Hallows is a top-rate horror antho. This book contains 10 amazing stories by some real heavy hitters (haunters) in the horror genre. These stories are themed around Halloween, but they’re so damn good they can be enjoyed anytime. Mark Parker did a great job as editor of the antho, and he also has a delightfully disturbing story included within. As a horror author myself, I would like to go a step further and give kudos to Scarlet Galleon Press for such an artfully and meticulously produced
I'm a sucker for all things Halloween. As the title suggests, this short yet delectable collection contains ten tales of terror to haunt you this Halloween, some of which are reprints but all of which should be savored by fans of the holiday.

Halloween story anthologies vary in quality- I've read some masterpieces like "October Dreams," and some that just don't quite stick the landing. This one is in between, with some very good stories and some forgettable ones. Twist endings are common, and some, like "Under the Tutelage of Mr. Trueheart," stick the landing, while others like "The Longest Night of the Year" and "Starting Early" don't QUITE come off as strongly. Still, for a Halloween chapbook to polish off in a night or two, this o...
Whether creating elaborate costumes, transforming your house into a spooky spectacle, gorging on chocolate or waiting in the bushes to ruin a child’s dreams, everyone has rituals. Mine usually involves burying myself in books, comics and movies regarding our sacred Halloween evening. Whenever a new anthology comes out with even a slight whiff of autumnal celebration, it’s an automatic get. So, you can imagine my excitement when I learned of editor Mark Parker’s Dark Hallows: 10 Halloween Haunts,...
These short stories were quick reads, and somewhat entertaining. I found a few editing flaws, and some seemed rushed or like the story was part of a larger book but cut way down. It was hard to connect to any particular character when the stories seemed to jerk one direction then another. Overall it good for a quick read on Halloween night with the lights off.
Easy read, decent, but not great. Half of the stories are only tangentially related to Halloween. Plot are interesting, if not completely thought out in a smooth way. Worth a read, but not annually.
