Paul Wilson, Ed Gorman, Peter Crowther, John Shirley, Douglas E. Cave, Douglas Clegg, Richard Laymon, Poppy Z. The list of contributors gathers just about every important writer in the field (other than King and Barker): Dean Koontz, Hugh B. The book contains 55 entries (not counting original artwork), including nearly two dozen stories (half original), a novella reprint, about 30 original essays on "My Favorite Halloween Memory," a new poem by Ray Bradbury and three original essays on, respectively, the history, literature and cinema of Halloween. The most enjoyable horror anthology of the year, this jumbo goody-sack disguised as a book is stuffed with Halloween-themed fiction and nonfiction edited by the founder/editor of Cemetery Dance (Chizmar) and the editor of the respected but defunct nonfiction horror mag The Scream Factory (Morrish).
