Criticism Regarding Books All Hallows' Eve

I've read a few things by Vivian Vande Velde before, and I was in the right mood for something nice and creepy. It's October! Time to roll out the scary books!Sadly, I was a teensy bit disappointed. I was promised a chilled spine, and I rarely got it. Short story collections are almost always a mixed bag. No exception here! There were a few stories that were creepy, if not memorably so, and a few that fell flat.The best of the lot were Morgan Roehmer's Boys (set in a haunted hayride!), Only on

While some of the short stories in this collection are better than others overall it is fun and spooky. The author frequently subverts the reader's expectations and puts a surprising spin on the common ghost story. It's a quick easy read that is perfect for Halloween night, but can be enjoyed anytime.

A decent collection of Halloween themed stories. I didnt find any of them properly scary and I honestly doubt a teenager would either. Theyre the kind of stories little kids tell to scare each other, each with a twist at the end. The writing wasnt bad, it just tended to be predictable and the endings didnt quite pack the punch I expected. I think its because they lacked a lot of the atmospheric elements that are required to make a horror story scary. You have to feel as if youre actually there

This wasn't thrilling at al. It were just stories about halloween and some paranormal things. Kind of liked some of them, others had huge anticlimaxes at the end. Overall it was good for a quick read but I will not reread this ever.

I knew it was a YA anthology and for some reason that's exactly what I wanted for my Halloween reading. The stories are brief and fun. They are creepy but not keep-you-up-at-night scary and I didn't mind at all. I like my Halloween entertainment to be less blood and guts and more like a chilling whisper on the wind and that's what you get here. I had a good time with this book.

A truly spooky collection of short stories with twists at the ends of each one that will send a chill down your spine. Vivian Vande Velde is an expert when it comes to creepy stories. If you like these stories, be sure to check out the rest of her books.

Read the first three stories, was bored.
