The Haunting Season: Eight Ghostly Tails for Long Winter Nights (And Days)

The Haunting Season is an anthology of eight short stories that range from mildly spooky to genuinely disturbing.

Overall, I’d recommend the collection if you’re looking for some light spooky reading, but I wouldn’t necessarily encourage one to go out of their way to procure a copy unless, like me, you get a real thrill from adding to an ever-growing collection of horror literature that threatens the structural integrity of your thrifted (and possibly haunted) nightstand.
