Mischief Night Massacre: Ten Tales of Halloween by Jason Parent, Jason Parent

dark fast-paced

5.0

What could be better during spooky season then to read a book of stories centered around Halloween? I say, nothing! These stories have everything. Monstrous creatures, ghosts, the undead, deranged slashers...everything needed for a genuinely thrilling Halloween ride.

My favorites from the collection...

Russian Dollhouse
Abandoned Colonial house, misguided teens looking for mischief, ghosts, and deepest fears revealed.

Keeping Up Appearances
Looks can be deceiving, know when to quit, Karma (perhaps?)

Ride Like the Devil
Ever went on one of those carnival horror rides (like at the fair) and wondered who might be lurking? Yeah, been there, done that. This one evoked memories of my true terror on those rides.

Pulp
A high school horror movie club, costumes based on horror movie characters, mayhem, keeps you guessing.

These were the standouts for me, but all of them are thrilling and horrifying. This collection is perfect for those who like to read scary around Halloween, and for the horror aficionados who love reading horror year-round. Highly recommend.
