Sixteen never-before-published chilling tales that explore every aspect of our darkest holiday, Halloween, co-edited by Ellen Datlow, one of the most successful and respected genre editors, and Lisa Morton, a leading authority on Halloween.

In addition to stories about scheming jack-o'-lanterns, vengeful ghosts, otherworldly changelings, disturbingly realistic haunted attractions, masks that cover terrifying faces, murderous urban legends, parties gone bad, cult Halloween movies, and trick or treating in the future, Haunted Nights also offers terrifying and mind-bending explorations of related holidays like All Souls' Day, Dia de los Muertos, and Devil's Night.

Der scheinbar ganz normale Junge Jamie Conklin kann mit den Geistern kürzlich verstorbener reden..die Grundidee von Stephen Kings neuem Roman "Später" dürfte jedem doch irgendwie bekannt vorkommen, oder? Der Einstieg in die Geschichte ist wie bei den meisten Romanen von Stephen King großartig, das Talent des Autors mit relativ wenig Sätzen glaubhafte und sympathische Figuren zu erschaffen kommt auch hier wieder zum Tragen, allerdings schafft Stephen King es nicht, dem bekannten Thema allzu viele neue Facetten abzugewinnen, nach der starken ersten Hälfte verliert die Geschichte leider etwas an Schwung. Auch wenn der Protagonist oft beteuert, es handle sich um eine Horror-Story, halten sich die Grusel-Elemente ziemlich in Grenzen.."Später" ist nicht Stephen Kings bester Roman geworden, hat aber alle Stärken und Schwächen, die man an dem Autor liebt..
Nachdem ich dieses Buch gelesen habe, achte ich sehr darauf, dass Nachts kein Körperteil von mir über die Bettkante ragt.
Jedes Kapitel erzählt die Geschichte eines Bewohners aus der Red River Lane. Jedes Kapitel geschrieben von unterschiedlichen Autor:innen. Jede Geschichte jagt dir einen Schauer über den Rücken. Das ist jedoch nichts gegen die Gänsehaut die dich überkommt, wenn alle Geschichten zusammen ein großes Ganzes ergeben.
This trilogy revolving around a highly infectious virus disease is the perfect genre-mix of fantasy, sci-fi, thriller, dystopia - and of course: lots and lots of horror!! Don't miss out on this extremely haunting and atmospheric series; it certainly got me hooked.
And that in a time before our current pandemic - I can only imagine how thrilling of a read it must be now!

No disappointment here - the hype is absolutely justified in my view.
I loved High Place (the spooky mansion in this story) with its rotting decadence; a once wealthy place now abandoned. And I relished the feeling of something not being quite right; the creepy atmosphere Morena-Garcia was wonderfully able to bring to life. A fantastic gothic tale set in 1950 in rural Mexico - one of my favorites books this year!
