"Death's on its way to this town and there's nothing we can do to stop it."

It's October 1st in Cowboy Cauldron, a dying Prairie town where it seems like you can't turn over a rock without something sinister popping out, and there's a month-long marathon about to begin. It's not a marathon of found-footage movies; it's a run of deaths and near-misses that will crowd the town's oversized graveyard and leave kitchen tables and school buses feeling awfully roomy. Things aren't looking good for Cowboy Cauldron: only one person knows what's coming, and he's just spent all night digging graves.

A dog tries in vain to guard an elderly widow. Teenagers plan a brutal coming-of-age tradition. An old man gloats over the elderly gossips whose seats in their usual cafe are unexpectedly empty. Old coins are put to sinister uses. A man vows to do anything to protect his children. And watching over it all is the mysterious Secret Keeper, but where his most recent memento came from and where he'll be getting the next one is for him to know and you to find out.

A genre-bending fright-fest that is visceral and playful in equal measure, The Dreadful Roundup is a trick-or-treat bag to delight the most determined horror fan.

October Shadows: Classic Ghost Stories for Halloween (Deluxe Illustrated Horror Anthology)
<p>In <em>October Shadows</em>, artist John A. Rice brings to life classic ghost stories, using autumn leaves as his canvas. Each of the thirteen tales--by authors including Washington Irving, Edgar Allan Poe, and Edith Nesbit--explores the unexplained and the macabre, tapping into our worst fears and the darker side of human nature while exploring the supernatural mysteries that connect all our lives. This is the perfect book for curling up in front of a fire on a chilly night, when the moon is high, the wind whispers in the trees, and ominous shadows lurk around every corner.<br /></p><p>Every story in <em>October Shadows</em> is illustrated with an original artwork executed on an autumn leaf. Each artwork is shown twice: once at the beginning of the story, and once at the end, transformed--like the face of a jack-o'-lantern--by backlighting, the light bleeding through the leaf and transforming the colors to an eerie and haunting effect.<br /></p><p>Like a relic from another era, <em>October Shadows</em> features a deluxe binding in real cloth, with foil stamping and a tip-on. By breathing new life into timeless stories and reimagining them with Rice's unique approach, this anthology is poised to become an essential autumn classic--a book for Halloween and for cozy, spooky reading all year round. </p><br />
