As exciting and compelling as the first book, even when it got a bit more out there.
And now, for the conclusion...

It may be too early to put up your Halloween decorations, but it's never too early for a good scary read that makes you question your sanity. In this exclusive interview with iconic editor Ellen Datlow, she talks about the new horror short story anthology "Fears: Tales Of Psychological Horror."

Really hit the ground running. Or whatever the equivalent in space would be. Hit the space sliding? Hit the stars spinning? I give up.

Some vampires are scary, some are sparkly, but they usually all hate the sun. Usually. In Lindz McLeod's erotic horror novella "Sunbathers," the undead love the sun; it's us humans who are nocturnal. To find out more about this sexy and scary story, check out this exclusive interview.

Been on my "to be read" list for years. Not sure why. Read him in "The New Yorker" maybe? Either way, glad it was; the first story was really good.

While author John Ringo may have started the "Black Tide Rising" series, he's often handed the reins of these horror / zombie stories to other writers. Writers such as Jason Cordova, who here talks about his new installment, "Mountain Of Fire."

Bought this because "Book 2" has "Aliens," and I love "Aliens," but this is really engaging and exciting so far.

This super good multiverse / miniverse / time dilation story crushed my heart. My cold, dead heart. And my brain. My loving brain.

Let's be honest: kids can be creepy. And kids who expose people's secrets, and on Halloween ... well, that's super creepy. And a super creepy part of Christoper Golden's horror / suburban drama novel "All Hallows." To learn its secrets (like whether you'd want to read it), check out this exclusive Q&A.

Am totally gripped by this really clever, but also really personal (and thus really painful) version of a multiverse / miniverse story.

Loved her first English language novel, "How To Behave In A Crowd," and this seems like it's going to be equally as unique and offbeat and compelling,

As much flirty fun as the first two books in this / series, though a bit more frantic.
