    About this series

    Not content to merely thrill and chill readers, these eleven Halloween stories, edited by Mark Leslie, also enthrall, intrigue, disturb, and inspire. They tell of the people and traditions, the age-old rituals that send shivers down the spines of even the most up-to-date trick-or-treaters.

    From a farm family confronting the slow death of their way of life to two dead people given another day among the living, the characters in these stories, both human and nonhuman, explore the territory between living and dying.

      Murder, mayhem, and all manner of crimes set during the holiday season give this anthology a bite that serves as a delightful change from the sweetness that often dominates this time of the year. This volume contains an abundance of thieves, a few murderers, a wannabe murderer, and one or two stories in which the crime lurks on the periphery. With a host of unreliable narrators, a few psychopaths, and one acrobat, who could resist? From a search for the perfect Christmas tree that turns deadly to a reformed thief who wrestles with the better angels of his nature when temptation arises during the holidays, these marvelous mysteries prove the perfect distraction for even the stormiest winter evening. Includes: "Christmas Chase" by Tonya D. Price "For The Win" by Stephannie Tallent "Into the Good Night" by Rob Vagle "A Different, Better Red" by Michael Warren Lucas "The Art of Waiting" by Kelly Washington "Christmas in the Ruins" by Mary Jo Rabe "The Magi of St. Michael's" by Annie Reed "Pungent Justice" by Kari Kilgore "Targets of Opportunity" by Stefon Mears "All The Bells and Whistles" by B.A. Paul "Not A Cozy" by Steven Mohan, Jr.
