Bewertet mit 3 Sternen

The best comes last with this atmospheric collection of Halloween-themed stories.

The Mannequin Challenge (Kealan Patrick Burke)
I liked the otherness, the unexpected turn the story took, but at the end I also felt left behind and still missing something. ***

Across the Tracks (Ray Garton)
Great beginning, but the ending seemed a bit rushed in comparison. ***

The Halloween Tree (Bev Vincent)
IMHO, the most atmospheric story of the collection. ****

Pumpkin Eater (C. A. Suleimanr)
The fun story of the collection, but my least favorite. **

When the Leaves Fall (Paul Melniczek)
The last and longest story which is also easily the best in this book and my favorite here. I loved how so much was only hinted at and left unclear until the very end. Everything that happens is told from the main character's POV, filtered by his thoughts and feelings, which has a strong influence on the reader's perception of things. A great story to complete the book. *****

The Halloween spirit is still strong in this fourth installment of the series!
