Twenty-six terrifying tales set on the scariest night of the year by Ramsey Campbell, Neil Gaiman, Joe R. Lansdale, Helen Marshall, Richard Christian Matheson, Robert Shearman, Robert Silverberg, Angela Slatter, Steve Rasnic Tem, and many more. Along with a very special contribution by award-winning poet Jane Yolen.
Treat yourself to some very tricky stories! Halloween . . . All Hallows' Eve . . . Samhain . . . Dia de los Muertos . . . the Day the Dead Come Back . . . When the barriers between the worlds are at their weakest-when ghosts, goblins, and grisly things can cross over into our dimension-then for a single night each year the natural becomes the supernatural, the normal becomes the paranormal, and nobody is safe from their most intimate and terrifying fears.
