Ghost Light Road by Adam Light

“It’s that time of year again,kids!” he exclaimed.

“Who’s ready for some delicious treats?”

He let the last word carry out for a full three seconds, determined to whip the kids into a frenzy of unbridled sugar lust.

The Riggle Twins by Gregor Xane

For the twins, the days between Halloweens passed like hours. The sun and moon circled their treehouse home like hungry wolves. There were shadows everywhere inside, in constant motion. Every object looked to be either bleeding darkness or drinking it up. Thanks to Sam, their benefactor, time worked differently for the Riggle twins. Unlike other children, they didn’t have to trudge through a whole year played at the proper speed to arrive again at their favorite holiday. But still they were impatient. They were children, after all, and living through  what felt like only fifteen days between Halloweens was still sometimes too much to bear. They didn’t sleep through the periods of fleeting darkness, either, which only made things worse. Again, thanks to Sam, they had no need for sleep.

SYNOPSIS

The five freshest voices in horror will make you reconsider leaving the house on October 31st with these all-new Halloween tales:

• A brother and sister creep out of the darkness with bags full of deadly tricks in Gregor Xane’s THE RIGGLE TWINS.

• A boy with a misshapen skull just wants to be normal in Evans Light’s PUMPKINHEAD TED.

• A group of thrill seekers learn that looking for terror is a whole lot more fun than finding it in Adam Light’s GHOST LIGHT ROAD.

• Two bullies go looking for trouble but instead find a young boy and his imaginary friend in Jason Parent’s EASY PICKINGS.

• When a mysterious, Halloween-themed attraction comes to the town of Bay’s End, everyone is dying to pay a visit in Edward Lorn’s THE SCARE ROWS.
