What we're reading in TLS this week:

We are one week from Halloween,  a true festival of fantasy, a major celebration of otherness, the one time each year when the mundane is overturned in favor of the bizarre, and everyone can become anyone or anything they wish! We’ve compiled a second and final list of supernatural, paranormal, and scary stories just to help you embrace this fantasy celebration.  As always, leave the writers some love and& tell them TLS sent you! Beware!  Read at your own risk! Not all of these have a HEA!
