In his head, Jason Parent lives in many places, but in the real world, he calls New England his home. The region offers an abundance of settings for his writing and many wonderful places in which to write them. He currently resides in Rhode Island.
In a prior life, Jason spent most of his time in front of a judge . . . as a civil litigator. When he wanted a change, he traded in his cheap suits for flip flops and designer stubble. The flops got repossessed the next day, and he's back in the legal field . . . sorta. But that's another story.
When he's not working, Jason likes to kayak, catch a movie, and travel any place that will let him enter. And read and write, of course--he does that too sometimes.

It’s really easy to get lost in this collection as you go from story to story since it’s a genuine page-turner. Now, to be fair, since there are so many subgenres in horror that are featured here that some stories you’ll like a lot more than others. Some stories also felt a bit flat for me but everyone is different and in general, there is definitely something in this collection for any horror fan to enjoy. There is a very good variety of authors here which makes it a perfect book to read right before Halloween.
I give “Midnight From Beyond the Stars” a 4/5 as it undoubtedly got me even more into the Halloween spirit. The only reason it didn’t get a perfect 5/5 is that personally, some of the stories just didn’t do it for me and that’s okay as it’s expected in an anthology. I also felt there were way more outer space/sci-fi stories added to fit the theme and title of the collection. I’m not a huge fan of this horror subgenre but if you love outer space/sci-fi stories, you’ll love this anthology even more then.
Regardless, this should be something every horror fan should read at least once and it should definitely be done in October right before Halloween for extra awesomeness. It’s a very well done anthology and something I’d recommend to any fan of horror because the variety in here is great. No doubt, you’ll easily enjoy many stories here that you’ll never forget. I say that because a few of them genuinely creeped me out!
And that the biggest percentage of tales in this anthology were winners goes to show these talented writers deserve their just reward.
I hope this trend continues.
Well done!
My top four:
Attack of the Killer Tumbleweed! by Antonia Rachel Ward
I may be a tad biased being from Vegas but this is set in………. Vegas and has the feel of the last scene in Mars Attacks with Wayne Newton. Millions of razor sharp tumbleweed roll down the strip slicing everything in it’s path. A Vegas singer, a showgirl, and a newlywed couple flee together in a Cadillac.
Snow Blind by Kristopher Triana
A group of people have their vehicles die in the middle of a freak snowstorm and seek shelter in a nearby cabin. The group gets picked off one by one as they go outside to investigate a loud crash. Lovecraftian elements and space cults always go well together.
The Fear of Fallen Leaves by James Newman
A woman with a phobia of autumn leaves is faced with her worst fear and able to survive an alien invasion on Halloween night.
Skin Tags by Vivian Kasley
Possibly the most uncomfortable short story I’ve ever read. I LOVED IT. A middle aged hairdresser is tasked with a customer that claims to have just come back from space and is covered in skin tags.
I couldn’t possibly cover every story in this but I promise you won’t be disappointed. This is the anthology of 2021.

They are “doing” a science fiction anthology of space aliens. Each story is about an encounter with space, or space beings.
All of the stories are delightful. I did not get a bad one in the bunch. This rarely happens and it’s good when it does.
Reading this book was a treasure and a pleasure.
