I’m very pleased to announce that RDSP will be publishing Halloween Season, my new fiction collection, in the fall of 2020.
Some of the stories are fundamentally about Halloween; others are horror or fantasy tales that take place in autumn near the holiday.
Halloween is my favorite holiday, and I tried to work in the full spectrum of everything it represents to me in the collection. Some stories focus on family and friends. Others deal with classic Halloween figures: witches and ghosts, zombies and killers. There are plenty of scares, but the focus is on fun, and there’s more humor in this book than my readers have seen for a while. There are stories with young protagonists that are suitable for kids … but there are also a few stories that are strictly for the grownups after the kids have gone to bed.
This will be my 4th book with RDSP and my 16th overall; my other RDSP titles are Soft Apocalypses, While the Black Stars Burn, and Eldritch Delights.
