About this title

Synopsis

This collection of thirteen tales of horror highlights the customs and traditions of the celebrated Halloween night of gouls and goblins and features contributions by such best-selling authors as Whitley Streiber, Robert Bloch, and Frank Belknap Long

From Publishers Weekly

Ryan has put together an entertaining and timely collection of horror tales by a diverse group of writers, ranging from the venerable Frank Belknap Long (who was first published in 1924) to modern master Ramsey Campbell and relative newcomer Craig Shaw Gardner. Among the best stories are Robert McCammon's "He'll Come Knocking At Your Door," which builds to a high level of tension as it tells of a family whose good fortune is provided by an entity who exacts repayment on Halloween; Whitley Strieber's "The Nixon Mask," a macabre and hilarious envisioning of the former president at his most paranoid and incoherent; "Trickster" by Steve Rasnic Tem, set amid the confusion and revels of a Mardi-Gras-like Halloween night in San Francisco, where a man catches sight of his long-dead joke-playing brother; and Robert Bloch's "Pranks," in which an old couple demonstrate they have some original ideas about how to handle trick-or-treating children.

Shipping Terms

Orders usually ship within 2 business days.

UK Orders: Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 lb, or 1 kg. If your book order is heavy or oversized, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required. If you are buying a small paperback or another small book then the postage and packing will generally be reduced by �1.50 and I will reduce the charge before processing your order.

European Orders: Shipping costs are based on books weighing 800g. For European orders I have only quoted a price for air mail. Not all European countries have been added so your shipping may appear high. Please note that I will adjust the charge I make if this is the case and postage to Europe will be lower than the rest of the world. If you are buying a small paperback or another small book then the postage and packing will generally be reduced by �1.50 and I will reduce the charge before processing your order.

Other overseas orders: shipping costs are based on books weighing 800g. I will generally use whatever method is covered by the standard postage charge but if you specifically wish to have it sent surface or airmail or anything else please ask and I will amend the charge accordingly. Please only choose the cheaper surface mail option if you do not mind waiting - the suggested upper time limit for this form of delivery is 60 days and it can take that long - and sometimes a bit longer. If therefore you wish to receive the book in 2-3 weeks then please opt for the more expensive postage option which will guarantee airmail delivery. If you are buying a small paperback or another small book then the postage and packing will generally be reduced by �1.50 and I will reduce the charge before processing your order.

Books are usually wrapped in bubblewrap and then in cardboard. Please ask if you have any particular requirements.
