Halloween. The season many wait for all year. A time when people can be anything they want to be. A time of costumes and candy, spooks and frights. Or it can be a time of terror and carnage, where those with sinister intent hide behind the guise of innocence. Where malevolent souls hunt their prey. A night where the only thing that matters is trying to survive.
Call it what you All Hallows Eve, Halloween, or All Saints Eve, but if evil comes looking for you, there’s nowhere to hide. Don’t fool yourself into thinking everything will be okay… The only thing you will ever be is dead or dying.

Join us for tales of Halloween Horror in this volume of If I Die Before I Wake, but bring your body bags—no one gets out alive.

The Better Off Dead series delves into the farthest corners of your mind, where your deepest, darkest fears lurk. These masters of horror will haunt your dreams and stalk your nightmares, taking you to the edge of sanity before pushing you to the brink of madness!
Contains stories by Richard Chizmar & W.H. Chizmar, Steven Pajak, R.E. Sargent, and others.
