In this inaugural edition of our annual young adult magazine, monsters take revenge on a school board that cancels Halloween; a kid and some teens try to get a balloon out of a tree; witches recruit a little girl; a father will get a babysitter by any means necessary; a teenager is harassed by a strange creature only she can see; a housesitter gets an unexpected guest; a unique meme goes viral with malicious intent; a couple at a drive-in experience something sinister; a familiar fairy tale gets twisted; and a boy claims to have met a mummy. With fiction by Madison McSweeney, Nick Manzolillo, Donna J.W. Munro, Priya Sridhar, Brenna Harvey, Amadin Ogbewe, Christopher R. Muscato, Angela Sylvaine, Joti Bilku and Jeff Strand, and an exclusive interview with Adam Cesare.
