Happy Deathday to You...and Other Stories to Give You Nightmares by George E. Stanley

Hold your horses or your dragons…or whatever.” What the hell are trick-or-treaters doing out at midnight? I thought as I hustled to the front door.

The doorbell rang again, this time in three rapid, insistent sets. Evie must have turned it down when she went to bed. I felt better than I had in months-rested and light on my feet.Ĭolbert was on TV, the sound so low I could barely hear it. I figured I must have had one hell of a sleep. No propping myself up on the arms to get into a standing position. Well, duh, it’s Halloween was the second.
