Foreward by Trebor Drahow:

For the second year in row, PulpWork Press has plumbed the depths of Hallows Eve deviltry and enlisted the aid of five of today's best living pulp authors to fill the pages of this very book with sagas of the strange and supernatural.
In this volume we explore the many malign manifestations of Halloween (and no, those pestiferous goblins and dwarfs who dawdle at your door demanding tricks or treats don't count).

We kick off our plethora of poisonous prose with a story from prolific pulp author Joel Jenkins. He brings us a tale of the weird west, wherein American Indian pistol slinger Lone Crow finds that his erstwhile companion-in-arms, Six-Gun Susannah Johnson, has led him into a nest of undead outlaws.

Then horror maestro Thomas Deja treats us to a tale of the traveling exorcist Don Cuevo and his enigmatic partner, the Mexican beauty known as Dolores, who find that Halloween is a time when evil entities more easily enter the Earthly plane and aren't so easily cast out.

Black Library author, Josh Reynolds, treats us to another tale in the ongoing Hound saga, where the legendary Royal Occultist Charles St. Cyprian and his bloodthirsty assistant, Ebe Gallowglass, encounter yet another incarnation of diabolical vivesectionist Dr. Hochmuller.

The infamous Rob Mancebo follows with an event ripped from the files of the secretive government agency Section Seven. Terri Krengel and her partner Kane face a malignant being from the astral plane.

Then from the masterful and demented mind of Dale W. Glaser, we travel back in time to find Kellan Oakes in his less cynical pre-detective college days. When a Halloween frat party goes awry and turns into a life-threatening demonic conflagration, Kellan finds that he must fight fire with fire!

Here's wishing you a haunted and happy Halloween.
