Full disclosure here – I not only consider Greg to be a great friend, but he’s also done three book covers for me (Churn the Soil, An Endless Darkness and the upcoming When I Look at the Sky, All I See Are Stars). Saying that, Greg’s a professional and he knows my thoughts will be my thoughts on his work. Saying ALL OF THAT – I should also state, Greg is one of my favorite writers. His work shimmers and seethes with creepiness and emotion. I think, of all of his work, the one that isn’t my personal favorite was his his debut novel – which was a great time – and it was nominated for a Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a Debut Novel! So, it’s safe to say, I was excited when Greg asked if I’d like to take his next collection, ‘Midnight Masquerade’ for a spin.
What I liked: Featuring nine entries of varying lengths – from short story up to novella – Greg showcases his ability to create masterfully crafted, tension-filled pieces that focus around some truly memorable characters.
I’ve already read a few of these, so I’ll be brief on those, as you can find my longer thoughts in my other reviews, but ‘Vaudeville,’ ‘The Last Night of October’ ‘Left on October Lane’ and ‘Octoberville,’ are just phenomenal stories in their own rights and are worth the price of admission alone.
The new entries are all excellent. ‘The History of Halloween,’ follows a Halloween historian – coincidentally born on Halloween – who finds out that there is some truth to what some people thought might happen to those born on that day. ‘Midnight Masquerade,’ was so well done. This one follows a young woman, Emma, who attends a group meeting for victims. Once there, someone gives her an alternative to the meeting and she takes it. Normally, I wouldn’t pegged this one as my favorite of the new ones, but there was one more that topped it. First though, let’s talk ‘Thirty Years Later.’ While it does tread familiar ground – thirty years later, four former friends are ‘reunited’ over what happened back in high school, stories like these will always have me intrigued and Greg does a great job of keeping the reader on the edge of their seat.
The highlight within this collection for me was ‘Happy Daze.’ With shades of Michael Douglas’ 1993 film ‘Falling Down,’ we meet Harvey the Clown, a man who has dedicated his life to making sick kids smile. When he learns his wife is embarrassed by him and his clown group hates him, things unravel quickly. This was filled to the brim with emotion and showcases Greg’s trademarks perfectly.
What I didn’t like: Having had read a number of these before, my biggest concern for this collection is that those who’ve already snagged the other releases previously may not grab this one, in which case they’ll be missing out on how phenomenal the new stories are. I get it, I really do, I’ve done it as well, but for someone who wants more people to read and love Greg’s work, I worry that this may be a limiting factor for some.
Why you should buy this: If you’ve not read any of Greg’s work before, this is the perfect place to start and even better – this one will be launched on Halloween, so will definitely be a timely release for those loving the Halloween season. Greg’s such a talented writer and I hope this one rockets out of the gate and finds so many more readers to discover and love his work as much as I do.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5
*I'm not going to give you the 'what this book is about' blurb - you can read that elsewhere.
1. This is a collection of 9 Halloween tales that will be released on 10.31.23. 9 Halloween tales!! As a Halloween stan (aka basic white girl) I’m constantly looking for the right book to read during spooky season and this was it! I loved each and every one of the stories, which is incredible! I’m usually satisfied with a collection or anthology if I enjoy 50% of the stories, so to find one that I truly enjoyed 100% of is unheard of. I’m not mad that I read this collection, but I am salty I read it in August instead of October 😉 (Thank you, Candace and Uncomfortably Dark for the ARC!)
2. I’ve not read any Greg Chapman before and I think this was a perfect introduction to his work. I love his writing style. Anyone who has previously read him may have read a few of the stories in this collection already, but there are new stories as well, so please don’t let that deter you from scooping this up. And it’s all packaged together nicely for you to grab for future Halloweens when you’re needing something seasonally appropriate.
3. The breadth of subject matter/plot was impressive. I know it’s 9 stories about Halloween by the same author. You’re probably thinking ‘how much different can the stories be?’ VERY different. There are stories that tug at your heart (Happy Daze and Vaudeville), stories that keep you on the edge of your seat (The Last Night of October) and an overall sense of childhood nostalgia that makes you want to don a costume, grab a pillowcase, and knock on neighbors’ doors for candy.
4. As a bonus, I really enjoyed the structure of this collection – it starts and ends with a longer novella-ish story with 7 shorts in between. Very reader-friendly. Very easy to just fall into when you only have 15 or 20 minutes and you want to read but don’t want to be pulled out of a story when time is up.

Another enjoyable romp through the twisted psyche of Mr Chapman. Gee this guy has a real thing about Halloween. A very solid collection, including two classy novellas. I really loved the opener, 'The Last Night of October'. A tale of longing and regret. The closing novella, 'Vaudeville' gives that rare horror trope (in my readings at least) the happy ending... kind of.
Among the short stories here, 'Happy Daze' is a cracker, in which a poor children's clown has the worst day of his life, and goes out with a bang, the only way a clown could. I loved the vengeance themed 'Midnight Masquerade', and 'Octoberville', which I have a feeling I may have read before, has a nice fuzzy Halloween feeling to it. Well as nice as horror and death can be. It definitely gives off a Nightmare Before Xmas vibe for me.
All considered, it's another fine collection from a fine Aussie author (and artist).

As much as I wanted to love this book… all the October/Halloween stories were a bit of an overkill for me. It’s a worth a read as it’s quick and entertaining.

4.5 ⭐️
Midnight Masquerade is an eerie collection of short stories and novellas by Greg Chapman. I am a huge fan of short stories, not to mention Halloween so this book was the perfect read for me.
The book kicks off with "The Last Night Of October" which had fantastic tension and dread, making it a story hard to beat but if I had to pick a favourite it would have to be "Second Coming Circus" or "Midnight Masquerade". Strangely enough these two stories are not Halloween themed but are definitely extreme and satisfying for horror lovers.
There wasn't a part of this book I didn't enjoy. I look forward to reading more by Greg Chapman.
Midnight Masquerade will be available for sale October 2023.

I really enjoyed the thematic connections between all the stories, and actually wished I'd read this closer to Halloween itself! They are all connected via the Halloween settings, and the really thoughtful concepts of masks and masking, and similar atmospheric elements of the creepy American small town, and hidden secrets, helped to make it a really cohesive collection. Familiar and wholly enjoyable tropes abound.
I have no idea why I would've loved to have them all set in the same tiny town, but I guess that's just a small Me Thing. Besides, it would preclude different Unique Small Town Weird Shit happening in each tale. The best story that established that small-town uncanniness was the opener, Last Night of October as it evoked several classic Hollywood films but I could never pinpoint which ones.
Standouts personally for me:
Midnight Masquerade: A very compact, satisfying revenge story, but the revenge - and the forces that drive it - are wholly ambiguous.
October Lane: For some, abusive parents are the looming, ever-present monsters far scarier than warewolves and vampires. This story juxtaposes them through the eyes of a young male protagonist that could've easily stepped off the streets of Derry in a Stephen King novel.
Octoberville: This was my favourite - I loved the concept and setting of a village that is full of living Halloween tropes 365 days a year.

Masks we all wear hide our innermost fears.
Greg Chapman's new book is a collection of short fiction and novellas, and all of them were a wild ride. I was lucky enough to attend the book launch for this, so it was great to ask Greg some questions about it and hear some of the things that went into this work. This book released on Halloween night, and that should tell you what you will find within these pages:
Mishap, mayhem, supernatural horror, and even traces of black comedy. Like clown-for-hire, Harvey, having a terrible, terrible day in a society and around people that couldn't care one iota about him.
My favourite stories were Happy Daze, Midnight Masquerade (a tale of the masks we all wear, an element running throughout this whole book), Second Coming Circus, and the novella, Vaudeville. Greg brings these horrors to life with almost minimalist prose at times - short, sharp, and brutal.
I give this book 5 stars because it perfectly sums up Halloween itself: fun, and I had a blast reading this.

"Midnight Masquerade" by Greg Chapman. I was sent my copy in exchange for an honest review.
This collection of nine stories is full of all the spooky vibes and is a perfect read for the start of the fall season. Each story has something different going in inside; ghosts, vampires, murder, and revenge are just a few of the topics you'll come across. Out of these stories, I chose a top three, and these were my favorite:
"The Last Night of October" is a great ghost story. It was very creepy and had a mysterious vibe. I also really enjoyed the characters and wasn't expecting the ending at all.
"Midnight Masquerade" is where the collectiln gets its name from. It's about choices, revenge, and murder and I LOVED the last line.
"Octoberville" was definitely my favorite story. Unfortunately, there's not much that I can say about this one without spoiloling it for you, but I can tell you that it was incredibly thoughtful provoking.
Also, "Vaudeville" is the last story in this collection, and it's about a about a traveling circus of sorts and a father's redemption. The main character inside this story, Mr. Crispin is a character worth mentioning. He was really wild and did some pretty insane things that are going to stick with me for a while.

Another great collection from Chapman, with themes running from 'mundane' real-life horrors to supernatural terrors, including several Halloween-themed tales. A very dark and thoroughly engaging read. Highly recommended.

With Samhain just around the corner, Greg Chapman has quite a treat, and oh so many tricks for us in this outstanding collection of nine novella/short story length tales. Tension builds in each and every selection. The anticipation is downright visceral and you will find yourself reading well beyond your normal reading speed in order to get to the deliciously creepy and sometimes weirdly amusing conclusions. The length of the selections vary from novella to short story, with pacing and cadence so masterfully crafting each and every selection. I’ve had the opportunity to already have read a few of the selections and it was a treat for me to revisit them. As for the newer stories I was blown away as I usually am by Greg’s ability to spin a gruesome, intelligent, thought provoking and spine tingling tale. Quite satisfying and oh so delicious.
Within the covers you will find the following titles: ‘The Last Night Of October’, ‘Happy Daze’, ‘Thirty Years Later’, ‘Midnight Masquerade’, ‘Left On October Lane’, ‘Second Coming Circus’, ‘Octoberville’, ‘The History of Halloween’ and ‘Vaudeville’.

From the first few pages, I was drawn in. The short stories had me right on the edge of my seat and I could not stop reading until I knew what's happened. Not one story disappointed which is a massive feat in itself. I'm currently reading through Chapman's other works and I'm impressed. Suspense, dread, jaw dropping... I loved this.
