Encompassing an expansive range of literary styles from gothic to detective and beyond, the collection delves into the eerie, the unexplained, and the spectral. It not only celebrates the conventional hallmarks of horror and mystery but also reinterprets them, weaving through historical narratives and psychological landscapes. Notable for its diversity, the anthology brings together seminal works that have shaped and transcended the boundaries of their respective genres. The contributors to Halloween Mysteries are titans of literature and trailblazers of their respective genres—ranging from the macabre poetry of Edgar Allan Poe to the sharp-witted Sherlock Holmes tales by Arthur Conan Doyle. Their works are steeped not just in the supernatural but are reflective of significant cultural and literary movements of their times such as Romanticism, Realism, and the early stirrings of modern psychological literature. Together, these authors provide a panoramic view of the evolving themes of fear and intrigue, capturing the essence of Halloween with a depth that is both rare and enlightening. For those drawn to the thrill of the Halloween season, this anthology offers a unique literary journey through a spectrum of narrative voices, styles, and eras. Readers are afforded a magnificent chance to explore the intellectual stimulation provided by these classic authors, discovering interwoven themes of human nature, society, and the supernatural.

That night, there is more at stake than just politics; at least one of them is in real danger. Will they all survive – and if they do, will they be able to start draining some of the poison from the political world they now inhabit?

    When Jimmy left the force and started his "Delaney's Investigation Company", he expected to be living the life of Riley. A few months later, and the dust still hasn't had time to settle from the Preiss and Simms murders, but Jimmy's ongoing divorce has swallowed his imagined riches. What would Jimmy do without the city's thriving blackmail industry? That may go away, as candidate Mathews is promising to clean up Barnstow; but Jimmy isn't sure Mathews has the right idea. Read “The Right Idea” and see if you agree. 
    "The Right Idea" is a detective story with sci-fi elements, and follows "In a Flash" and "Mixed Signals" as the third Jimmy Delaney story. If you like a little self-deprecation and humor with some sci-fi elements thrown in (think "The Rockford Files" mashed up with the old BBC "The Avengers") this is the series for you..
