I have never understood the chapbook industry. Paying a lot for a single short story just doesn't seem right. But, when I can find one used for a decent price, I might check it out. This one is double the usual size from this publisher (60 pages instead of 26).

Linda goes to a Halloween party mainly to get back at the jerk she dumped. The party host is known for being rather outrageous; last party had a real cadaver present. This party has the partygoers splitting into teams on a scavenger hunt. On Linda's team is the jerk and an unidentified ghost.

The plot takes us through a graveyard, a funeral home, and a spooky house. All the way various twists are thrown out and we have to figure which one will develop into the horror.

Nice story with plenty of red herrings to keep you guessing although I doubt anyone will actually guess the ending (this is Laymon after all).

I wouldn't recommend paying a lot for this one but it is worth reading.

Very short little story. (60 pages) Laymon delivers a surprise ending despite the short length. Very little character development.
