In All Hallows' Eve, gifted writers have concocted a Regency witches' cauldron of romance and shadows, love and laughter, horror and delight.

Joan Aiken's story conjures a peer's ghost who wreaks destruction on a modern guest-house; lovers invoke Lord Samhain with haunting results in a captivating tale by Jo Beverley; superstition is the key in Carola Dunn's light-hearted story of love and apparitions; a new theory concerning Mary Shelley and her singular muse is brought to light by S. N. Lewitt; an Irish peer and a modern American find they have something grisly in common in a ghostly tale by Morgan Llywelyn; Marvin Kaye paints a touching portrait of love that survives beyond the grave; Grand Master of Fantasy Andre Norton writes of a betrothal gift imbued with unutterable horror; Nancy Richards-Akers crafts an account of love that challenges the curse of time; Caroline Stevermer gives an unexpected twist to a story of familial jealousy ...

The sixteen stories collected here reveal supernatural aspects of Regency life and explore the magical havoc ghosts from that era can wreak in modern times.
