Trickster's Treats #2: More Tales From The Pumpkin Patch

Hi everyone! Wow, it's sure been a while, hasn't it. The year's almost over, and this is only the third post of 2018. Well, sorry the posts have been so few and far between, and, thanks to everyone that still stops by once in a while.

Today's post is not a review; in fact, it is a bit of shameless self-promotion. Things in the Well, a wonderful Australian small press, has released their second Halloween short story anthology, Trickster's Treats #2: More Tales from the Pumpkin Patch. In it, you will find over 30 terrifying short stories divvied up among 6 Samhain seasonal topics.

The topics are:

Pumpkin Head

Halloween House

Trick or Treat

Haunted Forests and Trees

Bob Apple

Fancy Dress

All stories in Trickster's Treats #2 range between 666 and 1,000 words, and feature some top-notch horror authors.

Even better, the anthology is supporting a worthy cause, The Women's Shelters Ltd.!

So what's this about self-promotion? Glad you asked! Within this volume is an entry by yours truly! That's right, my story, "Hatred's Germination", appears in the Pumpkin Head category. It's a violent little tale of a perennially ridiculed superintendent in a NYC Housing Project who reaches a turning point on Halloween Night. 

I'm very proud of this story, and eternally grateful to Steve Dillon at Things in the Well for selecting it. I hope you enjoy it, as well as the rest of the entries.
