Doorbells at Dusk by Evans Light, Gregor Xane, Jason Parent
3.0
"His interest in Halloween could not be explained in the limited vocabulary of man. To him, it was simply magical." - Curtis M. Lawson
Doorbells at Dusk is an anthology of 14 horror stories related to Halloween. It starts out very strongly, but the stories wound up being hit or miss for me. I had only read one author from this book before (Josh Malerman), so it was awesome to be introduced to a lot of new horror writers.
This anthology is such a fun idea, and I loved getting to stay in this Halloween world for a while. The cover is amazing, and it sets the fun & spooky mood for the stories inside.
My top 5 stories in this book were Rusty Husk by Evans Light, A Plague of Monsters by Charles A. Gramlich, The Rye-Mother by Curtis M. Lawson, Trick 'Em All by Adam Light, and Offerings by Joanna Koch.
Even though I didn't care for some of the stories in this book, this anthology is full of creativity. All of the stories have intriguing concepts, and I love that so many writers are passionate about Halloween.
Thank you so much to Erin Sweet Al-Mehairi & Corpus Press for sending Doorbells at Dusk to the Nightworms for review!
