A food critic visits an unusual and exclusive restaurant on Halloween in Mark Hull's "Friday Night Dining with Marianne." A nightly visitation by a stray cat sends a woman in search of a long-lost sister in Jason Evans's "She Came on the October Wind." Ranging in tone from eerily quirky to quietly horrific, the 21 stories in this Halloween-themed collection offer an entertaining homage to the witching season.
VERDICT Including veteran and debut writers of suspense and horror, this is a pleasant choice for Halloween aficionados and an optional addition to library collections.
