October Dreams: A Celebration of Halloween by Robert Morrish, Richard T. Chizmar
4.0
4.5 stars
The perfect anthology for reading during the run-up to Halloween! As well as the short stories by a huge variety of authors there are also 'Halloween Memories' from some of the authors sprinkled throughout which I think is a really great idea and adds to the Halloween atmosphere as you read through. There are also a couple of segments that recommend Halloween themed stories, novels and movies so it's great to refer back to for inspiration when Halloween comes round again. While there were a few stories that didn't do much for me overall this is an absolutely wonderful book. My favourite stories were:
A Redress for Andromeda by Caitlin R. Kiernan
Eyes by Charles L. Grant
The Trick by Ramsey Campbell
Pork Pie Hat by Peter Straub
