The shadows grow long in the crisp autumn air, and soon, the summer will be a distant memory. In the dim light of a fading sun, the night has returned to reclaim its own.

From hayrides, corn mazes, Jekyll n Hyde, warped games, witches, demons, and death personified, Autumn Nights: 13 Spooky Fall Reads brings together the very best in chilling tales to hear under a harvest moon.

This audiobook is for those who get excited about Halloween and crisp fall weather (and yes, even pumpkin spice lattes). Are you the type to dream of windy nights and tumbling leaves even while summer days stretch on? Do you want scary bonfire stories with doses of humor and twists on classical tales? This collection is perfect for you.

These 13 plus one bonus spooky short stories originate from the talents of 14 impressive new and published authors. Each twisted tale glimmers with a different sinister face of autumn to bring new chills to your spine.

Great Read--Many Tales Compiled Into One Book

Great Read--Many Tales Compiled Into One Book
This novel is comprised of several short stories. It is perfect for those who want quick reads, or even those who prefer to finish a book in one sitting. I particularly loved the autumn theme, as an avid lover of the season myself. Several authors spoke out to me which ultimately led me to purchase the book. While geared toward the young adult audience, adults can enjoy it as well. The universal theme throughout this piece is a black cat. If you are into suspense and mystery, then as you read this, look for this black cat as the theme. Without going into too much detail, I can assure you that the stories are not only thought-provoking, but their scenery is vivid and descriptive. They are fun---each other has their own unique way of telling their tale. I love that you can immerse yourself in the scenes as if you are a part of the stories from the outside looking inward. “Bloodlines”, which is the first story, is great for animal lovers. I loved the plot twist toward the last few chapters. I found this story particularly interesting because of all the unique elements. “Fade to Black” I loved because the main character had an attitude I found quite comical through reading the internal monologue and by her behavior. I also love how the author completed the story. “Dawson Farms” was another favorite of mine. Scarecrows have always “creeped” me out. (Thank you, Children of the Corn). I liked how the characters were developed and that the scenery was perceptible because it was well built. The use of magic tied the whole short story together. I also adored the male and female character’s chemistry and how the author pulled me in to the story by evoking emotions through the character’s actions. There is a second Autumn Nights novel that was just released that I will be reading as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly entertaining and varied collection of spooky tales
Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2019

Wonderful and wonderfully varied collection of haunting tales perfect for late-night reading in the days leading up to Halloween. Without a stinker in the bunch, each story has its own unique style, setting, and mood reflecting the diverse array of writers involved in this anthology. From spooky houses to the far reaches of outer space, from foggy and historic London Town to popular modern phone apps and RPGs, these stories run the gamut from fantasy to scifi to speculative fiction and outright horror. Truly something for anyone's taste here. I enjoyed every story, but a few that stood out for me were "Hannah and Gregory" and "The Teller Tree" because I enjoy folkloric and fairy tale riffs, "Dawson Farms" because it played upon my own fears of claustrophobia and feeling trapped, and "My Own Dark Way" and "From Hell" for their riffs on a dark period of London history. But really, I could list every story here. There wasn't a single one that didn't thrill and entertain. From humor to horror, I can't imagine any reader who won't find something to fall in love with in this amazing collection of expertly written tales. Proceeds also earmarked for charity which I applaud and support as well. Highly recommended.

I love to read themed books for all the Holidays. All of these stories were easy reads and you could finish 1 story in 30 minutes or break to keep the thrill going till the next day. The author's really know how to draw you in. Black cats are also one of my favorites and this book highlights them very well. The cover is beautifully spooky. I look forward to reading more of the short stories books.

3.0 out of 5 stars Most of the Stories are good, there were 3 disappointing ones
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2019

I gave this 3 stars because the stories we're good, but not the kind I would read more than once and not the kind I would brag to my friends about. However, there were a couple of contributing authors whom I want to read more of.

One of these was the first story in the book; Bloodlines by Cass Kim. The main character (MC) is Sage Roberts. The story is deliciously spooky from beginning to end. The scene near the end where the villain shows up was very scary and we'll written. The only thing I didn't like was the it ended on a cliffhanger and it seemed unrealistic.

Magicians Weekend by Martin Shannon was my favorite story. An unexpected gift topped with a perfect bow ending; it had both scary and humorous scenes, in perfect balance. I will definitely be looking for more of this author's books.

Hannah and Gregory by Jacob Faust had some interesting elements. The beginning is kind of meh..but once you get through that it is interesting.

****Spoiler Alert******

A retelling of Hansel and Gretel that ends on a cliffhanger.

The Witches of Nine By Meg Holeva

Another talented author and one of the best stories in this book. This could be a compelling series about the MC, Colbie.

Dawson Farms By Matthew Cesca

Very scary, and I thought he nailed the ending.

My Own Dark Way By K. A. Miltimore
A dark trip into the twisted minds of two famous villains!!! Almost Bradbury-esque.

Courting Death by Edison T. Crux was interesting, not scary--mainly sentimental.

What I disliked:

Fade to Black by Amanda Stockton was the second story. I thought it was a premise that had been done many times before and this story didn't add anything fresh or interesting. It was more depressing than scary. However,

*****Spoiler Alert********

I did like the recurring black cat character throughout the book. That was clever!!

The Teller Tree by S.M Rose was my least favorite. It was boring and depressing. Skip-able.

I also disliked the pointless ending of From Hell By Tara Jazdzewski

*****Spoiler Alert***"""

Constellation Boy By Dixon Reuel was an interesting story but I was confused by the deaths of the crew members, and I wasn't sure at the end if another ship would be sent or not.

Soul Sisters By Mandy Lawson

What a rip off ending!!! A great story, right up until that infuriating end.

Who would I recommend to?

If you like cats and spooky Halloween stories. If you like scary but dislike gore, this is the book for you. Also if you are looking for new authors, my favorites in this book are:

Cass Kim

Martin Shannon

K. A. Miltimore

Matthew Cesca

Preordered this book, thinking it would be a good read. I was wrong. It's a FANTASTIC read! I'm no where close to getting through most of it, but what I have read I adore! The story that sticks out so far is "From Hell" by Tara J. What an amazing take on a classic mystery! I'd love to see more from those characters!

A collection of strong stories that set the perfect tone for Halloween. It was so clever to have the same cat woven through all of the tales, especially since proceeds go to ASPCA. There were stories that had Jim Butcher-worthy banter, clever puns like Piers Anthony, and some that were just plain engrossing. Very enjoyable read.
