All Hallows' Hell Ellie Scott

Step into spooky season with 20 contemporary short stories
Halloween has descended upon a gloomy town in the depths of Yorkshire, and for one night only a century-old spirit has travelled from the land of the dead to satiate his bloodlust. But will he find an unwilling host before midnight strikes, or will the modern world befuddle him into submission?
Old friends reunite for the Halloween party of a lifetime, unaware that it might be the last party they ever attend. A journalist finds herself at the pinnacle of the biggest story she'll ever write, but she looks set to become the tale's key villain. And when a pizza delivery boy sets foot in the county's scariest haunted house, he wonders if the teeth-chattering skeletons will ever let him leave.
The streets are packed with werewolves, witches and wand-wielding wizards, but how on Earth do those alien costumes manage to look so realistic? Why is Rapunzel covered in blood? And why is that horde of zombies sporting uniform from the local prison?
Creepy, quirky and comical, this Halloween short story collection is the perfect treat to accompany your pumpkin spiced latte.
This is the second book in the Short Silly Stories series. Catch up with characters from the previous collections - Merry Bloody Christmas and Come What May Day - or meet them for the first time in All Hallows' Hell.
