Synopsis

Autumn Harvest: A Celebration of Halloween and the Macabre... brings together all the fun things that may have scared you as a kid about Halloween while taking those stories a step further by adding a new dimension that will horrify and sicken you as an adult. In this creepy and dark-humored anthology consisting of a dozen or so short-fiction pieces and the Novella, “A Pumpkins’ Halloween” you will be catapulted back into the world you remember as a child where ghosts, vampires, zombies, and all kinds of boogeymen were real. You will also experience a new form of terror as an adult in reading these stories because many of the villains that these tales encompass could be easily pulled right out of the headlines. Such stories in this book include: The Express: Four friends go on a camping trip near the site of an old train wreck and get more than they’ve bargained for. Damnedborough Radio 104.1 am: Rick addicted to collecting junk brings home a radio that broadcasts the voice of a demon. Exit 34: A woman recounts the experience of a time when she was young and on vacation with her family when they stopped off at a restaurant where you might end up on the menu. A Halloween Story: A man at the end of his rope experiences a drunken Halloween. Cold Mutton Soup: Mike and Jim discover resurrecting the dead may not be all that they thought it would be. Glenn and Death: Loser in life, Glenn Oliver, finds himself accompanied by the grim reaper to a party in the afterlife that Glenn may not be ready for. A Pumpkins’ Halloween: A novella which focuses on five jack-o'-lanterns taking turns telling scary stories on Halloween as they watch passerby trick-or-treaters shuffle past them on their fun-filled evening. And, many more stories... thirteen in all. WARNING: THIS IS NOT A CHILDREN'S BOOK. IT HAS AN ADULT THEME, LANGUAGE, AND SITUATIONS

About this title

About the Author:

About me? I'm a book fanatic, love to write and being in the forest. Peace and quiet may very well be my favorite things on earth. I also have a dog Tipper, who pees on everything and I don't believe a word that people say if they have the moniker, "Expert" attach to their name. My goldfish, Milli, recently died. Burials at sea are always tough. And, I still haven't ever been able to figure out how high is "up"? I know for a fact that it's impossible to hate pizza and nachos. And, I also don't know if I'll ever truly get author bios. If, an author's life was so interesting that people are dying to know about it, than why do you think we authors would spend all day writing fiction? Want to know anything else? Just ask, I'll probably just be thinking about french fried potaters anyway. MMMM-HMM

Review:

"Autumn Harvest: A Celebration of Halloween and the Macabre. As a fan of Halloween myself, I think this book could do well on the market. There was a good variety of monsters and spooks to keep me entertained.Writing a short story and producing a gripping story is hard to do at times. I think most of the stories managed to do this." -Samantha Gregory, Readers Favorite
