You might need to check your chocolate bars for razor blades as there are just as many tricks as there are treats in this pumpkin-spiced late night anthology from Scott B Hansen. 

In the sleepy town of New Salem, the 31st of October seems to be a day unlike others, a day that draws tales of terror like flies to a lamp. But surely they're just old campfire tales right?
