Halloween Carnival Books in Order

Brian James Freeman gathers five Halloween horror stories involving sinister candy, an unsettling confession, danger aboard an airplane, Mexican legends, and murderous social media ambition. Contributions from Robert McCammon, Kevin Lucia, John R. Little, Lisa Morton, and Mark Allan Gunnells turn familiar pleasures threatening.

Five stories edited by Brian James Freeman explore a haunted Montana tradition, childhood experiments with magic, destructive pranks, a professional who makes people vanish, and missing boys. Glen Hirshberg, Lee Thomas, Holly Newstein, Del James, and Al Sarrantonio contribute to this Halloween horror collection.

Children disappearing into woods, a cemetery festival, a town’s deadly obligations, overwhelming fears, and a persistent masked visitor animate these five Halloween tales. Edited by Brian James Freeman, the collection features Kelley Armstrong, Kate Maruyama, Michael McBride, Taylor Grant, and Greg Chapman.

An office party, a tempting house, a sinister tree, a husband’s murderous plans, and a town’s concealed past turn Halloween unsettling. Brian James Freeman assembles five stories by Kealan Patrick Burke, Ray Garton, Bev Vincent, C. A. Suleiman, and Paul Melniczek.

Brian James Freeman’s final Halloween collection explores concealed violence, a hometown dare, unpredictable magic, Hollywood mortality, and a jazz legend’s secrets. Richard Chizmar, Lisa Tuttle, Norman Prentiss, Kevin Quigley, and Peter Straub contribute five stories about dangers hiding beneath familiar appearances.
