While spring breaks forth and gardening books take center stage, keep in mind that Halloween is coming. For collections that need some weeding and reseeding, here are titles worth adding. They range from a second look at a classic to voices fresh and familiar. Many of today's best horror writers ply their trade through short stories. Bram Stoker Award--winning author and editor Eric J. Guignard helps readers find these gems with a new series. The first installment is EXPLORING DARK SHORT FICTION: A PRIMER TO STEVE RASNIC TEM (Dark Moon. 2017. ISBN 9780998827520. pap. $13.95; ebk. ISBN 9780998827537), a fascinating study for fans seeking new reads and for librarians developing wide-ranging collections. The endeavor also includes expert commentary, critical essays, and original artwork. Volumes focused on Kaaron Warren, Nisi Shawl, and Jeffrey Ford are forthcoming.
