Black Mare Books serves up some fun-sized treats from Artemis Greenleaf, Holly Dey, A.B. Richards, and Claire A. Murray.

In this grab-bag of Halloween shorts, you’ll find an assortment of killers and creeps. You may want to log off your Zoom meeting to play with the nice birdies. Perhaps kick back with a premium pizza before you go for a long walk in the dark woods? Or maybe you’ve wanted to run away to join the circus? Sounds like more fun than keeping a date with Death.

But be warned: the monsters may not be who you think they are.
