1. Come in and rest a spellThoughts while reading.(view spoiler)[-Umm... Granny needs water that someone has drowned in for a spell? Thats a bit creepy. But in theory, couldnt you just get water from an ocean or a large river? -Ohh dang girl. Granny stole your man! 😂 (hide spoiler)]Rating: 2 stars.

3.5 out of 5
Read the first three stories, was bored.
Short horror stories often feel compelled to include a twist ending, and with that expectation, so many of them can fall short. This is amplified even further in YA fiction, which often goes for the jugular in predictable, movie-inspired ways. Nonetheless, Vande Velde's collection of Halloween tales was unexpectedly satisfying- the macabre, "Tales from the Crypt" sensibility running through many of them felt genuinely dark and at a few times even unsettling for real. Definitely a nice way to
A truly spooky collection of short stories with twists at the ends of each one that will send a chill down your spine. Vivian Vande Velde is an expert when it comes to creepy stories. If you like these stories, be sure to check out the rest of her books.
This wasn't thrilling at al. It were just stories about halloween and some paranormal things. Kind of liked some of them, others had huge anticlimaxes at the end. Overall it was good for a quick read but I will not reread this ever.
