Synopsis

Twenty stories. Twenty nightmares. One night when anything can knock at your door.

Halloween is supposed to be fun.

Costumes. Candy. Pumpkins glowing on dark porches.

But some doors should never be opened.

20 Halloween Tales is a collection of twenty original horror stories built around the darkest night of the year. Inside these pages, ordinary Halloween traditions become something far more disturbing.

A mysterious rulebook warns a family what will happen if they answer the door after midnight. A house appears only on Halloween night. Children who never grow older return to the same neighborhood every October. A television broadcast shows viewers something impossible. A motel guest discovers his name in a register written decades before he arrived.

And those are only the beginning.

Inside you’ll encounter haunted houses, cursed costumes, impossible trick-or-treaters, mysterious broadcasts, disappearing towns, strange masks, midnight visitors, and Halloween traditions that should have been forgotten.

Each story is short enough to read in one sitting—but designed to stay with you long after you turn off the light.

Perfect for readers who enjoy:

• Halloween horror
• Scary short stories
• Supernatural fiction
• Haunted houses and urban legends
• Creepy twists and unsettling endings
• Horror stories for adults

Read one story each night.

Just don’t read the last one after midnight.
