Glen Hirshberg, Lee Thomas, Holly Newstein, Del James, and Al Sarrantonio bring the ghouls of the most haunted night of the year to life in a chilling collection of stories curated by master of horror Brian James Freeman.
MR. DARK’S CARNIVAL by Glen Hirshberg
Halloween is more than just a holiday in Clarkson, Montana; it’s a tradition passed down through generations. Only this year, the ghosts of the past may just be a little closer than usual.
THE FACTS IN THE CASE OF MY SISTER by Lee Thomas
When David was young, he believed in magic. In fact, he wanted to become a magician himself. But meddling in the forces of the mind has consequences beyond what an eleven-year-old can see.
MISCHIEF NIGHT by Holly Newstein
Cabbage Night, Goose Night, Devil’s Night—they’re all the same. Before the treats come the tricks. It’s all in good fun . . . until someone gets hurt.
THE GHOST MAKER by Del James
When people need to disappear, I make them vanish. The catch? I’ve always got to be on guard—because that knock at the door may not just be a little monster looking for candy.
THE PUMPKIN BOY by Al Sarrantonio
When boys start going missing, Detective Len Schneider is determined to make it right. But his partner knows that there are worse things out there than a dead kid.

I enjoyed every story in this book, which is unusual in a book of short stories! Well worth reading for horror fans.

HALLOWEEN CARNIVAL VOLUME 2 is the second of five anthologies from Random House/Hydra and editor Brian James Freeman due out the second week of October 2017. And like I expected, it's more than satisfying and just a bit chilling.
This volume has two novella length stories by the incredibly lyrical Glen Hirschberg and the king of Halloween Al Sarrantonio. Either story on it's own would be reason enough to buy and read this edition, but together - it's a no brainer. Both MR. DARK'S CARNIVAL and THE PUMPKIN BOY are worth reading every Halloween.
Lee Thomas's THE FACTS IN THE CASE OF MY SISTER was a well intentioned horrifying read that I never want to read again. I hope people learn from it.
MISCHIEF NIGHT was just sad. Not really a horror story, it felt out of place in this collection. It was quite dark however.
THE GHOST MAKER was also dark fiction. Enjoyable, and while I liked it, it didn't seem to belong here. A good story all the same.
This is a must read if you're at all into thrills and chills. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to the whole series today.
I received my copy from the publisher.

Not as good as Volume 1 due to one story
Reviewed in the United States on 19 September 2019Verified Purchase
Not as good as the first volume due to one of the stories. I didn’t bother to read The Ghost Maker by Del James when I came to this sentence near the beginning, “I took to crime like a whore takes to dick.” Not the style of reading I enjoy. The other four stories were good though. It was overall grittier than Volume 1. Look for my review on Volume 3.

Just a lot of fun x2

This little quick read was great. I liked book one a little better but this one was just as fun. I appreciated that they included LGBT characters in some stories and I'll be looking forward to book 3! Please get it written and produced soon!
