Today is the second of the Halloween Stories 2011 Series and I wanted to look at Bad Moon Books’ Halloween Novella Series.
As the first three books came out in trade paperback, there was so little to connect them in the product descriptions that I missed it initially. It’s almost as if this were a non-series.
Here is a quote from the Bad Moon Books website explaining all their Halloween books, including this series, best:
For years people and authors alike have been fascinated with the horror surrounding Halloween. This holiday, unlike none other conjures up all kinds of spooky and horrific images and makes for the perfect setting for horror fiction.
I hope we’ll get another Halloween story or two from Bad Moon Books in time for the dark holiday.

The Watching (The Halloween Novella Series #1)Author: Melniczek, Paul |
|
|
A young girl witnesses something horrific from her bedroom window, a scene which snatches away her childhood innocence and replaces it with terror. Her life becomes a routine of desperation filled with shadows and darkness, void of any hope. Her home becomes her prison, her life an unending cycle of despair. And her nightmares are of the worst kind, ones which are not separated by the barrier between dream and reality. |

The Samhanach (The Halloween Novella Series #2)Author: Morton, Lisa |
|
|
On a Halloween night 300 years ago, something rose out of a Scottish bog to curse the McCafferty clan. Now, in 2010, single mother Merran McCafferty finds her suburban Halloween celebrations torn apart by the arrival of the Samhanach, an ancient trickster demon. When the Samhanach tries to steal Merran’s young daughter, Merran is forced to put aside reason and accept that magic is real, and bogies really do exist on Halloween night. The second in Bad Moon Book’s annual Halloween novella series. |

Mischief Night (The Halloween Novella Series #3)Author: Melniczek, Paul |
|
|
When Rusty and his friends decide to visit the local neighborhood haunted house on Halloween night, they get much more than they bargained for, becoming embroiled in a hair-raising escapade which threatens to drag them into a living nightmare. There are more tricks than treats to be found in this old fashioned Halloween romp, and the plot continues to grow deeper and darker as old man Berger and his minions of evil seek to bring Rusty and his companions under their sinister control, their purposes unknown. In the tradition of a Halloween campfire tale, come and join the thrills and chills in this story of an October adventure gone drastically wrong. The third in Bad Moon Book’s Halloween novellas series. |
