A review by ronweston
Halloween Carnival, Volume 1 by Brian James Freeman, Kevin Lucia, Robert R. McCammon, John Little, Lisa Morton, Mark Allan Gunnells

5.0

Good collection of Halloween tales. Robert McCammon's "Strange Candy" was eerie, effective and poignant. Kevin Lucia's "The Rage of Achilles or When Mockingbirds Sing" was a memorable ghostly story of grief, guilt and redemption. For me John R. Little's "Demon Air" was the weakest of the lot, much too short and with very lackluster demons. Lisa Morton's "La Hacienda de los Muertos" was a fine tribute to South of the Border horror flicks, highlighting her interest in both holiday and film. Mark Allan Gunnells' novella #MakeHalloweenScaryAgain was well-written, engrossing but marred by an easily guessed killer.
