It is a weird Halloween in this New England town. Mary Peabody, local kook, gets eaten by her own undead brother. Charlotte Carmody, local widow, finds her son's corpse on the porch. Emil Weiskopf, local Nazi war criminal in hiding, is killed by a skeleton. A gang of thugs, local assholes, come across an underground ritual held by Innsmouthers.
This is a sort-of sequel to Shea's "Haunter of the Graveyard" and, like that earlier tale, its kind of cute, spooky fun. The writing is plain and unflashy but professional, what I call straight fiction magazine style writing. Workmanlike, but nothing to complain about. It's no classic but it is an enjoyable enough read.
As usual, it appears the awesome blog stopped updating just as I found it
