Some of you who follow my website may know that the last couple of years I’ve been in a bunch of seasonal horror anthologies from Wicked Shadow Press in Kolkata, India. Well, this year I’ve got an “extreme” paranormal story in their Halloween-themed anthology, Halloweenthology 2026 – Razor Candy! It’s the kind of ghost story you don’t see every day. About a farmer and his collection of dead kids. And one of these kids is more supernaturally powerful than the rest in October, and only the month of October. This story never appeared in print. Only as a podcast adaptation (audio). Halloweenthology 2026 is the perfect place to finally read it in its original literary format. The ending hits with a punch; hey, you know me and my children’s horror. Read my latest offering in Wicked Shadow’s Halloween book: “The Children of the Barn.”
I have a Halloween-themed story about mummies (and housing discrimination related to them) in the latest paperback entry in the Wicked Shadow Press seasonal anthology series, HALLOWEENTHOLOGY 2025 – Bad Pumpkin! Every year Wicked Shadow puts out three beautiful looking tomes in the Halloweenthology franchise, all on the same horrific theme: Halloween. It’s become a tradition. They sell quite well here in the United States and India. This year it’s another three books. I’m in Bad Pumpkin, so remember that. The other books in the series are called “Blood Moon” and “Autumn Falls.” For my story, imagine being a mummy owner, trying to find your own apartment for you and your bandaged-up entourage to live. Imagine getting turned away wherever you tried, housing complex after housing complex, good credit and all. But finally you stumble upon a creepy mortician who rents out one of his apartments. Sometimes, on Halloween, your new landlord may not be who he seems to be. I’ll leave all pics and links below. Be sure to check out my 3800-word tale, “Living Arrangements.”
