A wonderful collection for the spooky season that keeps the reader wanting to read more. It feels like nineteen stories aren't enough and thirty-one would have been just right - one for each day of the Halloween month. There's a brilliant piece by the cover artist that makes for an equally good read, like the rest of the stories." - Renata Pavrey, Tomes and Tales 365 "One of THE best & most heartfelt anthologies I've read in a LONG time. Left in tears more than once, so emotional readers beware. It is an incredibly wonderful collection of stories! Bravo." - The Romero Theatre "If you're looking for something Halloween-y to read this Halloween season, I could not come up with a more perfect recommendation for scratching that autumn itch." - Cat Voleur "This anthology, the first Triana has ever edited, is the gold class of ghost story anthologies. It will stay with me for a very long time." - Theresa Derwin "An exceptional collection of stories that is sure to become a Halloween classic." - Lenore Sagaskie "I've read this collection a number of times. It turns out that it took three times through to be able to select a few favorites for this review. They are all just that good." - Matt Gleason
