![]() ![]() A Bram Stoker Award winner and World Fantasy nominee, Partridge's rapid-fire tale of a small town trapped by its own shadows welcomed a wholly original creation, the October Boy, earning the author comparisons to Stephen King, Ray Bradbury, and Shirley Jackson.Now Partridge. ![]() I'm always interested in different versions of an author's work. Norman Partridge's Halloween novel, Dark Harvest, was chosen as one of Publishers Weekly's 100 Best Books of 2006. "Portions of this novel first appeared, in a different form, as “Hornets,” copyright © 2001 by Al Sarrantonio “The Pumpkin Boy” copyright © 2005 by Al Sarrantonio and Orangefield, copyright © 2002 by Al Sarrantonio." ![]() Here's some interesting information located on the copyright page, about the original version of the first novel: ![]() I read the first Orangefield title and enjoyed it, but haven't read the other two. One last Halloween horror I read was Lisa W. You can get a collection> The Orangefield Cycle Omnibus. Sarrantonio's not a great writer, but I remember the stories really evoked the feeling of a Ray Bradbury Halloween. I just really liked Spook Night.)Īl Sarrantonio has a series of stories and novellas about the town of Orangefield, the pumpkin capitol of the world. Unfortunately he is more interested in getting e-versions of his western and men's adventure stuff out. I read Spook Night and really enjoyed it. Pulp master David Robbins wrote three Halloween-themed horror novels (Prank Night, Spook Night and Hell-O-Ween). I have Johnny Halloween, but haven't read it yet. The one I'd recommend most is Dark Harvest by Norman Partridge. ![]()
