Jack-o'-Spec: Tales of Halloween and Fantasy features the many
faces of science fiction, fantasy, and horror Halloweens: steampunk
Halloweens, post-apocalyptic Halloweens, alternate history
Halloweens, outer space Halloweens, and noir Halloweens, not to
mention new speculative takes on Halloween perennials, such as
haunted houses, witches, ghosts, vampires, and, of course,
jack-o'-lanterns. Twenty-six authors have contributed short
stories, flash fiction, and poetry to the anthology, transporting
us to the mysterious realm of the Pumpkin King, introducing the
trick-or-treating Norse gods, or describing a lover's visit on a
brief reprieve from Purgatory. Contributors include Paul L. Bates,
Bruce Boston, James S. Dorr, Lyn C. A. Gardner, Jude-Marie Green,
Samantha Henderson, Geoffrey A. Landis, Elissa Malcohn, Gregory L.
Norris, Jason S. Ridler, Marge Simon, John F.D. Taff, Cliff Winnig,
and 13 more. If there is a holiday ripe for exploration,
speculation and new myths, it is Halloween. Come and celebrate this
night of nights with us. -- From the Publisher "Reading
Jack-o'-Spec is like stepping into a Halloween party that's been
going on for 2,000 years. There's something delightfully pagan
about these stories and poems, something that captures Halloween's
dark, autumn atmosphere. Whether it's a mad scientist invoking
Halloween ghosts on Mars, boys trapped in not one but two haunted
houses, or a rich evocation of poetic seasonal spirits,
Jack-o'-Spec has something for all Halloween lovers." -- Lisa
Morton, Author, The Halloween Encyclopedia
