IMHO, the weakest book in the series

Bewertet mit 2 Sternen

Enjoyed the first and last stories, but overall the book did not match its predecessors in the series.

Devil's Night (Richard Chizmar)
A perfect start to get into Halloween mood. ***

The Last Dare (Lisa Tuttle)
Raises a nice scary atmosphere, though the ending leaves you guessing. ***

The Halloween Bleed (Norman Prentiss)
Interesting idea behind the story, though it did not overwhelm me. **

Swing (Kevin Quigley)
This one just did not work for me. *

Pork Pie Hat (Peter Straub)
The beginning was very slow (too slow for my liking), but then things got interesting - and ugly. ***

IMHO the weakest book in the series, but the first and last stories still made it worth reading.

(Thanks to Netgalley, the author, and the publisher for a copy of the book, all opinions are my own)
