I saw a tweet about this anthology and immediately headed over to Amazon to purchase my copy. Anyone that knows me knows that I'm a Halloween fiend, so a new Halloween anthology to read in the middle of what I call Pre-October (the months after winter that come before October itself - I hate spring and summer) is something that is completely up my alley. All in all, this is a great anthology and one that I would call a favorite. Most stories in this book were perfectly on point and soothed all o...

Thank you to Erin and Corpus Press for sending the Night Worms review copies in exchange for honest reviews.Doorbells at Dusk is a no-brainer for horror fans looking for a Halloween anthology stuffed full of October mood and atmosphere. My favorite stories were as follows:Rusty Husk by Evans Light- Straight-up horror. Evans pulls no punches and goes right for the throat with this story. You think one character is pretty messed up and terrifying but then someone else comes on the scene and makes

You can see my video review HERE, but here is a look at my written thoughts:Evans Light, most known for bringing us books centered around the Halloween season, is responsible for Bad Apples, a series of Halloween-themed anthologies featuring tales from many dark and creative minds of the genre. While I have yet to read those books, I have heard marvelous things. So when Evans Light announced his latest Halloween anthology Doorbells at Dusk, I had to get a copy for review. I'm very glad I did.Whi...

Review: DOORBELLS AT DUSK ANTHOLOGY(Various Authors; edited by Evans Light, Gregor Xane)A delightfully rich collection, suffused with horror of many flavors and degrees, some subtle, some "up front." Whether you choose to sample one at a time, like bonbons, or devour the entirety, here's a fine selection designed to keep you eager for (or fearful of) that special holiday, when leaves drop, woodsmoke scents the air, children quest for candy...and the Veil thins..."A Plague of Monsters" by Charles...

You can pick your poison with this bag of Halloween treats that masquarades as a book of short stories.  As the streets fill with little monsters, pay close attention.  Some of those costumes seem all too real with what is going on.  Be on the alert for jack o'lanterns that may be more than empty pumpkin heads.  Make your way through corn mazes meant to confuse and confound, and discover a hidden pumpkin patch with its gruesome bounty.  Regard the unmothered baby carriage from afar, and have a c...

"His interest in Halloween could not be explained in the limited vocabulary of man. To him, it was simply magical." - Curtis M. LawsonDoorbells at Dusk is an anthology of 14 horror stories related to Halloween. It starts out very strongly, but the stories wound up being hit or miss for me. I had only read one author from this book before (Josh Malerman), so it was awesome to be introduced to a lot of new horror writers. This anthology is such a fun idea, and I loved getting to stay in this Hallo...

Doorbells at Dusk! What an awesome collection. Great to read anytime but really great around Halloween. Each story is unique and has something different to offer. I thought of them like this: the book is your trick or treat bag and the stories are the candy. A surprise but oh so sweet! Some that I enjoyed the most: the Rye-Mother, Rusty Husk, Many Carvings and Offerings.

Nothing says Halloween quite so much as a new horror anthology devoted to carved pumpkins, witches, ghouls, and murder as we turn toward the darker half of the year. Doorbells at Dusk is a solid entry into the annals of such anthologies, gathering fourteen short stories from a range of the horror genre's talents like Josh Malerman, Amber Fallon, Chad Lutzke, and more.Doorbells at Dusk showcases a broad range of Halloween horror themes, as well. There are some truly fun and occasionally depraved

DOORBELLS AT DUSK: Halloween Stories, is a Halloween-themed anthology featuring fourteen all new short stories, edited by Evans Light. As is usual in any collection, certain stories will appeal more to different people. However, the background of Halloween gives these tales an additional boost of interest, as most horror-readers can't get enough of this season. The stories range from psychological, to visceral, and even pure observation.Here are a few of the stories that really stood out to me,

DOORBELLS AT DUSK: HALLOWEEN STORIES was an above average anthology that challenged me to take my time and savor the tales of Halloween mischief. I failed that challenge!There are 14 spooky tales included within, and these were the ones that stood out the most for me:KEEPING UP APPEARANCES by Jason Parent. I just adored this story of Halloween thieves picking the wrong house to burgle. I laughed out loud at the eyeball scenes. (Not sure what that says about me.)VIGIL by Chad Lutzke. This wasn't

A very good anthology for the Halloween season. There is something in here for everyone and I enjoyed all of the stories, but of course, some more than others. Standouts being “The Rye-Mother”,” Keeping Up Appearances", “Vigil” and “The Friendly Man”.“Mr. Impossible” was probably my favorite as I am a huge fan of Gregor Xane’s work and it may have been the most unique tale in the bunch. Possibly slightly out of place amongst the more straight forward stories in the collection. That’s why I dig G...

This book was sent to the Night Worms group by Erin and Corpus Press in exchange for an honest review.I'm so glad I waited until later in the month to read this anthology because it's such a fun Halloween read! I was only familiar with 3 of the authors going into this one, and I love that, because it means that I'm about to potentially find some new favorites. This book has a number of creepy stories that stick with you, and a number of them are from authors that are new to me. I absolutely love...

If u enjoyed these Halloween stories you're bound to enjoy the Bad Apples series with stories from Adam Light, Evans Light, Jason Parent, Gregor Xane, Edward Lorn, KPB, Craig Saunders & others.

Get your Halloween on, son! This short story anthology showcases an entertaining assortment of Halloween flavors ranging from the gorily fun and unnervingly suspenseful to the darkly droll and mythically fantastic. Standouts for me were “Rusty Husk” by Evans Light, “Mr. Impossible” by Gregor Xane, “The Friendly Man” by Thomas Vaughn, and “Adam’s Bed” by Josh Malerman. Fun stuff. 4 stars.

October 9, 2019: SALE ALERT! $0.99 on the Kindle store! This is one of my favorite horror collections of all time and there's no better time to read it than right now! Like most horror fans, it should come as no surprise when I say that Halloween is positively one of my favorite days of the year. It has so much to offer, and given that October is general is my favorite month, Halloween is always the icing on top of the cake of excellence that is October. That said, there’s a shockingly low amoun...

I enjoyed this anthology of new "trick or terrors" offered up by editor Evans Light and associate editors Gregor Xane, Jason Parent, and Adam Light. New from Corpus Press this year, Doorbells at Dusk has some great stories within its covers. Here are a few favorites of mine:A Plague of Monsters - Charles Gramlich *is it insanity or reality?The Rye-Mother - Curtis M. Lawson *the wall between worlds thins a little - should we break through?Rusty Husk - Evans Light *Husk takes great pride in his an...
