Murder for Halloween Tales of Suspense Michele Slung Roland Hartman 9780446404617 Books

This is a really good anthology filled with both ghost and vampire stories for the horror buffs as well as
murder mystery stories for the detective buffs, all centered around Halloween.
Being a student of classical mythology, my favorite story in the book was The Lemures by Steven Saylor, a very
cool ghost story set in ancient Rome.
The Adventures of the Dead Cat by Ellery Queen and Theft of the Halloween Pumpkin by Ed Hoch are both light-
hearted, amusing non-supernatural tales that give you a decent, Halloween-flavored laugh.
The Odstock Curse by Peter Lovesey is a great dark, gothic tale. And of course, The Black Cat by Poe and
Walpurgis Night (also called Dracula's Guest) by Bram Stoker are classic gothic spook tales.
Deceptions by Marcia Muller is a modern atmospheric murder mystery.
The Cloak by Robert Bloch and Yesterday's Witch by Gahan Wilson are both decent little supernatural stories,
the first about a cursed costume and the second about the little old lady at the end of the block that all
the kids are scared of. Is she really a Witch?
Night of the Goblin by Talmage Powell is a decent story of revenge with candy.
I am not usually a fan of evil children stories, but Trick or Treat by Judith Garner was a disturbing shocker
that will have you thinking twice about denying children their treat.
The book also includes a novelette by Peter Sraub called Pork Pie Hat, about the boyhood adventures of a jazz
musician, which although set during the Halloween season, is more about racism than ghosts. It's a bit
confusing, but overall, has some spooky scenes.
The entire book is well worth the price. If you love a good mystery story, or even if you just love Halloween,
get it.
