End of Summer: Thirteen Tales of Halloween | J Tonzelli

2 posts | 1 read | 2 to read

The world's oldest celebration comes to life in The End of Summer: Thirteen Tales of Halloween, an anthology that honors the darkest and strangest night of the year. Each story is designed to be intrinsically and intimately about Halloween-its traditions, its myths, and its effects-and they run the gamut from horrifying to heartbreaking. Halloween night is the tapestry through which a haunted house, a monstrous child, a late-night drive to a mysterious destination, and other tales are weaved. Demons are faced, death is defied, and love is tested. And not everyone makes it out alive. The End of Summer has arrived.

End of Summer: Thirteen Tales of Halloween | J Tonzelli

so-so

It was well written and it somewhat delivered the spirit of Halloween.

Overall, some of the stories could have stood alone as either horror or speculative without capitalizing on the season. These stories in particular felt like they were piggybacking on the holiday rather than glorifying it.

Also, a few stories read as nothing more than underdeveloped thoughts.

Hey, have you heard of All Hallows Read? It's a tradition that was started by author Neil Gaiman a few years ago (www.allhallowsread.com). Is anyone doing this? I gave scary books to my favorite colleagues last year and it was such fun. 🍂🍁📚🕸🎃👻

DivineDiana I only recently heard of this, and I do love the idea! 8y
