  Trick or treat, trick or treat! Hungry ghouls crave fresh meat… 
  A recovering addict faces the ultimate test when an old friend puts him through a terrifying ordeal. Two brave souls spend the night in a haunted house, only to emerge forever changed. And a cursed photographer goes to horrific lengths when their vision slowly decays… 
  Scare Street is proud to present a new collection of diabolical delights. Twelve nightmarish tales of terror lurk within this sinister tome. Each one is a treat for shivers and shrieks. And the only tricks you’ll find are the ones your mind plays on you, as you feverishly turn another page… 
  Were those footsteps you heard, creaking across the floorboards? Was that whispering outside the window? Or just the whistling of the wind? 
  The sounds grew closer, louder. A horde of tiny ghouls scamper into your room, saliva dripping from their razor-sharp fangs. And you realize there is only one treat they crave. 
  The sweet taste of human flesh…

  Middlemarch: A Study of Provincial Life is a novel by George Eliot, the pen name of Mary Anne Evans, later Marian Evans. It is her seventh novel, begun in 1869 and then put aside during the final illness of Thornton Lewes, the son of her companion George Henry Lewes. During the following year Eliot resumed work, fusing together several stories into a coherent whole, and during 1871–72 the novel appeared in serial form. The first one-volume edition was published in 1874, and attracted large sales. Subtitled "A Study of Provincial Life," the novel is set in the fictitious Midlands town of Middlemarch during the period 1830–32. It has multiple plots with a large cast of characters, and in addition to its distinct though interlocking narratives it pursues a number of underlying themes, including the status of women, the nature of marriage, idealism and self-interest, religion and hypocrisy, political reform, and education. The pace is leisurely, the tone is mildly didactic (with an authorial voice that occasionally bursts through the narrative), and the canvas is very broad
