In a weird journey of nightmare and stamina, author Carl W. Bosch spends the month of October each year writing original, never-before-thrust-upon-the-world horror stories. The result is The Halloween Project, a collection of genre-defying short stories to honor the season in all its ghostly glory. From the terrifying and the shocking, to the melancholy and the macabre, these 64 Halloween tales are presented as dark offering to that strangest of seasons. Ranging from the medieval hills of Cinque Terre to the post-apocalyptic future, from the wildly imaginary to those just a bit-too-close to home, these eclectic tales are united in unearthing and reveling in those things that scare us. Read together, the stories of The Halloween Project are a celebration of a deep truth: it is when we are afraid that we feel most vibrantly alive.
