Halloween Season

More like 4 and a half.
True story: I bought this book back in October to use as Halloween decor because LOOK AT THAT COVER! It's adorable. I kept it on my nightstand and read a story here and there and I finished it today.
I'm sad I'm out of tales.
Each of these stories are so very different from others in the collection that it's hard to review the entire collection as a unit, but one thing most of the stories had in common was that they were detailed and fully-fleshed out. They could be expanded into novels. Porcupine Boy, for example, is set in a world that is so interesting that I can see that being a novel and What Dwells Within had me convinced I was reading an excerpt from an existing urban fantasy series (I stopped reading to look it up), it kind of just dropped you into the action.
My two favorite stories were Visions of the Dream Witch and In The Family. They were worth the price of admission alone.
A Preference for Silence cracked me up.
