Horror Experts Recommend Terrifying Tales for You

"If you want to find a quality scary story, it's always a good idea to go to the experts. Since the Crypt Keeper is currently in retirement—reposing and decomposing—we've found the next best thing: the editors of this year's biggest horror anthologies!

The publishing professionals below have generously given their time to recommend their favorite horror novels and short fiction for the Halloween season, both old classics and new (burnt) offerings. That's six separate batches of recommendations in total, with some interesting sub-categories regarding haunted houses, witches, cults, and fireside short stories.

It's a great idea, if we do say so ourselves. The contributors below are among the planet's most qualified experts when it comes to horror story recommendations. We're very grateful for their expertise."
