Two brothers find themselves drawn to the only house in the neighborhood not decorated for Halloween . . . A man returns to his hometown to bury his overbearing mother, and finds more than memories awaiting him in the shadows of his childhood home . . . A young girl walks a lonely country road, recalling a rhyme that brings with it memories of death . . . A teenager hoping for romance gets more than he bargained for when the object of his desire introduces him to the object of hers . . . An aging millionaire awakes buried in a cheap coffin with only a lamp and a bell for company . . . The son of a woman accused of being a witch accepts the villagers’ peace offering at her funeral, but all is not quite as it seems . . . A woman with a violent past realizes that this year’s Halloween party may be coming for her . . . And a lonely trick-or-treater awakes in a house rumored to be a place of death. From Bram Stoker Award-winning author Kealan Patrick Burke comes the second in his series of seasonal collections. Featuring seven reprints, a brand new story “The Toll”, an introduction, and rounded out by the author’s recommended reading and viewing lists, Dead Leaves makes for the perfect autumnal read.
