Short Stories for October and Halloween - Page 7

In the quiet, in the dark, no lights but one behind you, an open book across your lap, and all the time of night to terrorize yourself.
Old or new, some of the best dark fiction, tales of terror or of the supernatural, come in short forms. Here are some suggested stories, some quiet as they creep up on you, and some louder, launching themselves at you from their first words; some stories feature ghosts and some vampires, some werewolves and some mummies, some present things harder to name and some are all about human deviltry. And some are even funny.
Titles here represent specific short stories or novellas, not collections or novels, and are in order alphabetically by title.
