I usually start my Halloween reading on September 1st and this year I'm beginning it with CREEPS BY NIGHT, a 1931 horror anthology edited by Dashiell Hammett. The first story, William Faulkner's "A Rose For Emily" was genuinely creepy and disturbing and the second, "Green Thoughts" by John Collier is just as good so far.
