A Grave Duet

This chilling collection of horror-infused novelettes is crafted for mature readers who crave the macabre. Within these pages, twisted tales of possession, ravenous monsters, vengeful demons, love stories turned nightmare, and deeply rooted phobias claw their way to life.

Each story is a separate haunt — from modern horrors to ghost-haunted histories, and even a bleak future scarred by a deadly plague. Fallon and Lewis have collaborated on writing projects for three years. Together, they have crafted their debut anthology, with guest author Rissa Miller, Historian and Seer. Combining their skills, weaving together horror, speculative stories, and gritty characters, Fallon and Lewis blend dark fiction with reality.

Experience the ultimate in Halloween horror, where the only certainty is fear. Your soul will survive… probably.

Robin’s Review

What Did I Just Walk Into?

Triggers: spiders (and not the cute fuzzy ones), possession, body horror, grief, demons, obsession, phobias galore.

Seven Halloween short stories that run the gamut from “I’ll never try on another costume again” to “oh cool, now I need therapy for spiders.” Anthologies can be hit-or-miss, but this one is more hit than a werewolf on a full moon bender.

Here’s What Slapped:
“Haute Halloween” proves pettiness + fashion = horror runway.

“Feed My Babies” is an erotic spider nightmare that had me screaming and yet… strangely invested.

“Again, Sharee” is Groundhog Day in hell. 10/10 would watch Bill Murray cry.

“Nyctophobia” manages to make every light switch in my house feel like a death trap.

“Once in a Blue Moon” gives us a classic werewolf tale with bite.

“Veil Bride” serves gothic obsession with a side of heartbreak.

“Planchette” reminds us all to STOP PLAYING WITH THE DARN OUIJA BOARD.

The writing is tight, the pacing is quick, and the vibes are 100% October. Also, bonus points for queer rep and women writing women in horror.

What Could’ve Been Better:
As with all anthologies, not every story will be your absolute fave. But the lows are still enjoyable, and the highs more than make up for them.

Perfect for Readers Who Love:
Creep Show vibes in bite-sized chunks
Spiders (or maybe don’t love spiders, but want new nightmares)
Werewolves that aren’t angsty YA tropes
Halloween anthologies that are fun and freaky
