Cemetery Dance has gathered together a group of the genre's most talented authors to attempt the impossible: tell a coherent and scary Halloween round robin story! This experiment was inspired by the hundreds of encouraging emails we received after we published our first round robin, the Cemetery Dance Signature Series book Looking Glass. Each author brought his own unique voice to this terrifying tale set inside and around Bethany Crane's house, yet together they've crafted a unified story. And now the characters are in there, just waiting for you to join them. In fact, right now Gary, Bodie, Rachel, and the others are approaching the woods near Bethany Crane's house, and although they don't know it yet, they're not alone in the dark.... Featuring Brian Keene, Kealan Patrick Burke, Al Sarrantonio, Rick Hautala, Bev Vincent, Brian Freeman, James A. Moore, James Newman, Ronald Kelly, Norman Prentiss, and Ray Garton. Plus beautiful artwork by Jill Bauman

These short stories were written by authors asked only to use springtime as a setting and to make crime an important element of their stories. Some abandon reality a bit and delve into different genres. A few are nonfiction. Others are preview chapters from novels in progress. In short, there is something here for every taste!
