Haunter’s Tale: Volume II

J. Michael Roddy’s Haunter’s Tale: Volume II is an anthology featuring original content and interviews with over 50 of the Halloween industry’s top Haunters. Like the previous volume, this book contains short stories, scripts, photographs, interviews, and more that represent various facets of the horror and Halloween industry. Roddy does a wonderful job of collecting diverse content and curating insightful interviews.

This book is a must-own for members of the haunt industry as it features so many of their colleagues.

Emily's Insidious Inclusions

The best part of this book? Yours truly – Emily Louise Rua – has contributed two new short stories! Writing has always been a pastime of mine and scary stories are my favorite. After weeks of hard work, I polished two of my favorite sinister stories to share with readers:

In the Hallways Below tells the tale of a group of children whose game of hide and seek turns sinister when they unleash an evil entity who wants to be “it”. Told in the first-person present tense, this was a fun exercise in writing and bring the reader right into the horrific action.

Fear of the Dark concerns a father struggling to help his son overcome his fear of the basement. The little boy’s fear, however, might not be so unfounded.

Both tales will leave you shivering!
