Bad Apples: Five Slices of Halloween Horror by Evans Light, Jason Parent, Adam Light
4.0
A solid collection of tales. All were well written and there were enough twists to convention that I didn't feel like I was reading retreads of familiar stories.
My favorite story was The Riggle Twins by [a:Gregor Xane|7374346|Gregor Xane|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1383748246p2/7374346.jpg]. I have read several of his stories and he continues to leave vivid pictures in my head long after reading.
His boots were covered in mud. His pinstriped pants were torn in places, patched with animal pelts and vellum scraps scrawled over with arcane text. His snakeskin belt was fastened around a slender waist with a buckle shaped like the head of a screaming infant. His shirt was neatly pressed, white and crisp, with the faintest teardrop patttern woven in. He wore a great coat of quilted batwing leather.
Pumpkinhead Ted by [a:Evans Light|5816392|Evans Light|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1411013312p2/5816392.jpg]-one of the stories that threw a nice twist into a familiar story.
Ghost Light Road by Adam Light-Uncle Jesse...Dukes of Hazzard WTH were you doing out behind the barn?
Easy Pickings by Jason Parent-A seemingly typical bully story, until Trevor meets Jack and his imaginary friend Jacob.
The Scare Rows by [a:Edward Lorn|5751572|Edward Lorn|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1389908802p2/5751572.jpg]-I liked the ensemble cast feel of this story and the mysterious show rolling into town has always been a favorite of mine....although this has a unusual twist.....um.....can you say corncob?
I guess I should mention that I am GR friends with three of the five authors and have run into the other two in several groups here. If you think that colors my review, well......tough.
P.S. Hey Adam and Jason, the GR author search for you guys sucks. I don't know how those things get listed but neither one of you came up under your name in the add book/author function.
