The Best Night of the Year by Gerald Dean Rice

Four tales of terror from the author of Fleshbags. Two deputies make a routine yearly stop and get a treat that will last them the rest of their lives. A man trying to bond with his stepson while trick-or-treating welcomes a lone child to join them. A gravedigger discovers a trick that puts his life on the line. And a German officer finds himself trapped in a slowly collapsing building being pursued by the man he just killed.

Also, an excerpt of the upcoming novella, Axe to the Face.
