NEW RELEASE
HALLOWEEN CARNIVAL
(Volume 4)
Kealan Patrick Burke, Ray Garton, Bev Vincent, C. A. Sulei-
man, and Paul Melniczek treat readers to some spooky tricks
with a hair-raising assemblage of tales gathered together by
author, editor, and master of the macabre Brian James Free-
man.
THE MANNEQUIN CHALLENGE by Kealan Patrick Burke
For some, office parties are the highlight of the season. For
others, they can paralyze with dread. Theo is determined not
to let his anxiety stop him from attending—though maybe
he’s right to be afraid.
ACROSS THE TRACKS by Ray Garton
The candy’s always better on the other side of town, even if it means crossing paths with bullies. But a rich
house with an unlocked door might just be too good to be true. . . .
THE HALLOWEEN TREE by Bev Vincent
Every town has one: a house or a field or an old tree that just gives off a bad vibe. Of course, those feelings
are just silly superstition, nothing to take seriously. Right?
PUMPKIN EATER by C. A. Suleiman
Peter loves Halloween—almost as much as he hates his wife. Luckily, his favorite holiday presents an oppor-
tunity to fix his problem. After all, putting his wife in her place should be as easy as pie.
WHEN THE LEAVES FALL by Paul Melniczek
Haverville always seemed like a typical town to me: a place where people work hard, and no one ever really
leaves. Until the night I went to Graver’s Farm—and discovered what Haverwille was really hiding.
