For today's countdown to Halloween reading suggestion: Dark Halloween. A
"holiday flash fiction anthology." There's a lot of stories in it and a
lot of good ones. Mostly horror of course. While I usually don't read
much flash fiction and I think horror and supernatural need some time to
establish settings, atmosphere and the subversion brought by the
supernatural, I must say I quite enjoyed thus one. You will find plenty
of the iconic critters of Halloween, real and fake: ghosts, vampires,
witches, zombies, a few murderous maniacs, animated jack o'lanterns
(well of course) and quite a few original ones. Not all of the stories
are good, but even the bad ones are somewhat enjoyable. There's also a
pretty decent series of fanfic of John Carpenter's original Halloween movie. All in all, a solid seasonal read

Spooky!
I'll have to check this one out. Sometimes you just want a quick story before bed.
Hope you're having a great Halloween season and thanks for being part of the Countdown again this year!
Sounds good. The Halloween fan fic makes it worthy for a read. :)
