Australian writer Greg Chapman puts new twists on some old tropes in this dark little quartet. In Daughters of the Veil, a woman pondering the suicide of her sister begins to unravel the secret of her family’s past after visiting her ailing mother in a home. This is an interesting tale that uses the magic mirror motif to good effect, although at times the story is a bit melodramatic and overwritten. Next up is a man who stumbles upon a mysterious town called Octoberville when his car crashes in

Can she push away the darkness and see that Halloween is no longer something to fear? "Octoberville", my favorite, shows Tom Crane, a marketing manager, bein...
For “Halfway to Halloween” this year, I enjoyed Greg Chapman’s novella-length collection of four thematic short stories, and I’m glad I did. In the first story, “Daughters of the Veil,” Sera tried to figure out a family secret while dealing with the grief of her twin sister’s suicide and her mother’s declining mental health. However, “The veil is always thinnest on All Hallow’s Eve,” and secrets can slip through.“Octoberville” was my favorite of the stories. Tom Crane was driving home from a dif...
This is a fun little collection of four Halloween themed short stories. The collection title is reflected in each of the stories but they are all quite different in character. A good choice if you're looking for something spooky at Halloween, or at nay time of the year.
