Do you believe in ghosts?
You will after reading these original short novels from four of today’s best writers of the fantastic.
Brian Lumley, a Grand Master of Horror and author of the popular Necroscope series, opens the collection with the tense “A Place of Waiting.” The moors of Devon, England, are home to many ghosts, but none as fearsome as the red-eyed specter that refuses to accept his death.

The patrons of an Edinburgh tavern are introduced to a beverage with an unusual history in “The Haunted Single Malt” by Marvin Kaye, a clever and spooky story about ghost stories and the people who love them.

Lovecraft, and Anne Rice, The Ultimate Halloween gathers together a collection of new and old, unique and terrifying fantasy and horror stories centering around the holiday known as All Hallows' Eve. So lock the doors, dim the lights, and allow your host for the evening-editor Marvin Kaye-to usher you through the darkened streets and haunted forests of the imagination. But be sure to keep your mask on tight-the creatures of the night are less likely to attack if they think you're one of them. . . .
