Scariest Halloween Short Stories

In my last post about spooky Halloween stories, I mentioned some of the scariest novels written till date. Most of them have been made into films, like The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty and The Shining by Stephen King. Halloween is the perfect time to read horror stories and supernatural tales. However, people have become busy and have very little time to read a lengthy novel. Most people want to read short stories which are interesting to read and take less time. The same goes for horror stories. Horror short stories sell like hot cakes in book fairs and exhibitions. People of any age love to read supernatural, bizarre, Gothic and bloodcurdling incidents in the form of short stories. Check out here for some amazing collection of short and spine chilling horror stories which are befitting for a cold Halloween night. These short stories are just in time for Halloween and can unnerve even the bravest ones!

Read Ed Gorman's Different Kinds of Dead, Vampire from the Pit by M.L. Morris, 215 by Marshall Moore, The Crying Room by James V. Viscosi, The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe, Childe by Michael Burnside, The Mall by Bentley Little, Dead End by Keith Kekic, or They by David Morrell. These short stories are already bestsellers on this Halloween and are available as hardcovers and paperbacks. You can even get a discount and a free shipping in many of these books.

If you get bored with a single story, try reading compilations of several horror short stories like 40 SHORT STORIES OF HORROR AND THE SUPERNATURAL by Brian Wright, The 13 Best Horror Stories of All Time by Leslie Pockell, Horowitz Horror: Stories You'll Wish You Never Read by Anthony Horowitz, and Lisey's DEATH DREAMS by Chris, Robertson. This Halloween I'm planning to get some of these titles by ordering them online and have a “fangtastic” night! Share your short story with other fellow writers and get a review from other writing buddies and experts, if you have a chilling tale to tell! You can even enter writing contests and befriend other short story writers here.
