What They're Saying

Critics Review

“The stories flow wonderfully together and all three stand alone very well too. This is a great addition to the Humanoids collection of works.” - AiPT! “With the targeting of a YA audience, Halloween Tales veers more towards the mystique and beauty of the holiday rather than opting for horror or graphic violence.” - ICv2 “These may not be the kind of stories you tell your friends with a flashlight under your chin, but they are certainly the kind you can enjoy with your loved ones, curled up under a blanket with a mug of hot cider. Perfect for September, when the air begins to grow cooler and the shadows are cast just a bit longer.” - DoomRocket
