Halloween Party 2019

Devil's Party Press, publisher of the award-winning anthologies SOLSTICE, SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY, and EQUINOX presents an all-new collection of terrifying tales by 36 wild talents. Settle your mask into place. It's time for the Halloween Party to begin. You have been invited to open this book to experience stories so macabre, so horrifying, that we must recommend you read them before dark. Make the unwise choice to read one of these unsettling tales just before switching off the light, and we cannot promise that you will live to see the next morning sun. Thank you for coming to our party. It was nice to know you while you were among the living.
