Edited by Ellen Datlow and Lisa Morton, “Haunted Nights” unleashes sixteen never-before-published chilling tales that explore every aspect of our darkest holiday, Halloween. In addition to my original story “All Through the Night,” about a faery crossing paths with a lonely widow in 19th century New York, there are stories about scheming jack-o’-lanterns, vengeful ghosts, otherworldly changelings, disturbingly realistic haunted attractions, masks that cover terrifying faces, murderous urban legends, parties gone bad, cult Halloween movies, and trick or treating in the future.
