Rating: Summary: A Few Gems But Mostly Predictable Review: The one line summary says it all. A few of the stories were outstanding but I could see where most them were going in the first few pages. This book isn't very good as far as horror anthologies go.

Rating: Summary: Making Halloween Fun for Adults Again! Review: This brilliant, lovingly compiled collection of horror stories is only half the charm of this very original book - the genesis of the collection is almost as entertaining as the fiction: A Halloween "story party" where professional and non-professional adult writers come together to feast and read their short stories to friends and neighbors - cool! If you're looking to make Halloween fun for adult friends and family, this book may be just what the Mad Doctor ordered. Home spun horror as delicious as my demented aunt Denise's spice cake! Bravo Mr. Mayhew! Bravo!

Rating: Summary: Intriguing reading that captures the Halloween spirit! Review: This wonderful compendium of ghost stories brings back the eerie experience of encountering things that "go bump in the night." A must-have library addition for any true lover of Halloween! Would welcome the chance to encorporate this idea into an article for Happy Halloween Magazine!
Rating: Summary: A marvelous collection of very well-written creepy stories. Review: What a gem!! I have read, and re-read, these stories over the last several months and still find myself either chuckling or looking over my shoulder after dark. The story of how this collection came to be is almost as fascinating as the works themselves. I would love to meet these creative and fun people. Anyone who has ever been spooked, scared or gets a thrill out of horror films will love the entertainment value of this book. It is a combination of coffee table and bedside reading. Pick up a copy when it comes out in September of 1998 and then tell your fiends (excuse me, friends) all about it.
Rating: Summary: A terrific collection of scary, fun stories for Halloween Review: Wonderful! Nineteen stories and poems, all different but sharing the spirit of All Hallows Eve. It is the mix of fantasy subject and style, from humorous to macabre that makes this book so very appealing. A delightful, spooky volume for a stormy autumn night. Harvest Tales and Midnight Revels is really a prize; and the story of its creation, detailed at the end of the book, is almost as remarkable as the tales it contains! I look forward to seeing further work from this group of truly creative people. Escondido Reader
