My Review
I would have grabbed this collection just because of the creepy cool cover. But I didn’t. I grabbed it because I love spooky and this has some of my go to authors in it. Also some new ones I want to try.
I was hooked right by the third paragraph in the first story. If the scene had been from a movie I would have done a double take and said what the???? This is also when I knew it was going to be a late night. No way could I stop at just one. So I read several. And then some more. And that’s how it went until I finished them all.
I go into collections figuring I probably won’t love every story. And I won’t play favorites here. I can tell you that I enjoyed all of them, with many standing out from the pack. And now I have some new authors to keep my eye on.
If you like unpredictable, monstrous and out and out terrifying stories, then you’ll want to read these.

Synopsis
Halloween has always gone hand-in-hand with horror. The holiday gives many children their first taste of terror, the discovery and overcoming of fears. For those who find they love a good scare, that first taste can grow into a voracious appetite.
That might be why you’re looking at this book right now. If so, you’ve come to the right place. Doorbells at Dusk is a treasury of brand-new Halloween tales from both modern masters and rising stars of dark fiction, horror and suspense.
These are the thrills you crave, packed into a collection of stories that’s pure Halloween.
Carve your pumpkins and turn on the porch light, Halloween frights begin with the sound of…DOORBELLS AT DUSK.

This makes me very glad I purchased a copy! I love the creepy cover too.
I’ve read many of these authors so no way did I want to miss out. And now I’ve found some new ones too!
Creepy looking kid on the cover!
Reminds of the movie Trick R Treat!
I love that cover!!! I don’t read very many anthologies, but I do read them when the mood strikes. And this one sounds pretty good!
There were so many great authors. Some I already enjoyed and some new ones! The perfect collection for the month of boo!
Wow, yes the cover makes me want to one click it!
It certainly sets the mood:)
What creepy cool cover??? It’s just terrifying creepy cover to me Laura! And as for “If you like unpredictable, monstrous and out and out terrifying stories, then you’ll want to read these.” you know that i am just staying far away from it and reading your reviews with fascination 😉
The cover is creepy and perfect. And these stories are definitely not for you. LOL Thanks for still visiting and reading my posts all this month! I know too scary is not for you:)
