Halloween? I don't think so! This collection of stories edited by Marvin Kaye was disappointing for me because, in short, many of these stories were not truly Halloween stories. Most of these stories seemed to just mention that the time frame was in late October. But that is where 'Halloween' ends. There are some crime stories and other stories that could have very easily been written with no mention of October or Halloween.

Just don't expect the story you're starting to read to be li
