I really wanted to like this book, but having read other things by the contributors I anticipated a better roller coaster ride. The gross-out nausea factor is effective here (that's a good thing) but I just couldn't get into caring about anyone enough to really get anything but queasy going for me. I wanted suspense and terror but all I felt was splatter (again, that's not always bad in this genre). Worth the read anyway and fits the season. (  ) Gumbywan | Jun 24, 2022 | Be careful of wandering dark streets at night. The authors twisted imaginations take horror to the highest levels with surprise endings and plenty of twists and turns along the way. Four stars all the way! The Riggle Twins by Gregor Xane Pretty gross and devilishly delicious with tricks and treats for the Halloween hater. Do you have a dark house on Halloween, no candy for the treaters? Beware…egging and tping are not the only tricks these children have in store for you. 4 Stars Pumpkinhead Ted by Evans Light What they did to Ted is so awful…I can’t tell you. You’ll have to read it for yourself. BUT, he is back, one year later, for payback. OMG. I never saw that coming. Evans Light takes me to a place that smacks me around and makes me scream UNCLE! 4 Stars Ghost Light Road by Adam Light Of course, someone saw the light. Of course, what happens next, had to happen. I actually laughed. Dumbasses! Here comes the badness. You think vampires and werewolves are scary, you haven’t met Uncle Jesse’s children…and you really don’t want to. 4 Stars Easy Pickings by Jason Parent Beware. What goes around, comes around. Like a cat playing with its prey, I know something is coming…Now…No, now….Uh Oh. 4 Stars The Scare Rows by Edward Lorn Children of the Corn and Supernatural on steroids. I didn’t see this story developing the way it did, but I should not have been surprised, with Edward’s twisted imagination. Horror, perverted sex and evil do go together well. I wondered how he would end The Scare Rows and I couldn’t help but laugh when I got there. Corn Whisky…HA HA HA HA HA! Excellent. 5 Stars I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of Bad Apples.

Juicy may not be a good word choice to use here. How about shudder inducing? Yeah, that’s about right. The Riggle Twins by Gregor Xane ~ I think this is my favorite of the five. I was confused at first, but the writing was so delicious I had to find out what the hell was going on. I was still a little confused at the end, but I can’t say I wasn’t entertained. Pumpkinhead Ted by Evans Light ~ The cruelty in this one got to me. Well-written, but I didn’t like it. And the ending left me scratching my head. But I’m almost always left scratching my head when I read horror, so that’s not a big deal. Ghost Light Road by Adam Light ~ Now, this one is my 2nd favorite. I can easily picture this as an episode of Supernatural. How truly creepy it is! However, I find it incredibly hard to believe that Bill wasn’t passed out cold from the booze he was drinking. I call bullshit that he could drive, walk, talk and be cognizant enough to tell his tale in the morning. But still…Supernatural! Call Sam & Dean! Easy Pickings by Jason Parent ~ What dafuq did I read here? I don’t understand Jack and his buddy Jacob. Though I’m not upset that dickhead Trevor got what he deserved. The Scare Rows by Edward Lorn ~ To the man who got me reading horror I can say this…yowzers! I grew up on a farm. I used to run between the cornstalks. I’m glad I never read anything like this when I was growing up or I may not have turned out so well-adjusted. I’m staying far far away from any Halloween event that even remotely resembles the Scare Rows and that includes that damn Corn Maze just down the road!
