When autumn drapes itself over Madison, Georgia, the days shorten, the nights deepen, and something restless stirs beneath the magnolias.

In this Southern town, history lingers in the bricks of old houses and whispers ride the wind through quiet streets. Some say it is only memory. Others know better. Spirits have a way of keeping company in Madison, whether you invite them or not.

Haunting Season in Madison gathers nine cozy horror tales where the monstrous and the human meet in ways that will tug at your heart and raise gooseflesh on your arms. Some stories bring laughter, with goblins who mutter insults from candy counters or cryptid creatures who crave companionship more than fear. Others bring a chill, reminding us that the worst monsters wear human faces, and that cruelty, secrecy, and regret can cast longer shadows than any ghost.

In these pages, a widow confronts the wraith of a vanished bride, a swamp hag takes an unexpected interest in a lonely outsider, a rider with burning eyes gallops through the night in search of justice, and a boy learns that wishes made to the wrong figure can carry dreadful costs. Elsewhere, bones bloom in gardens where flowers ought to grow, a spectral horse lights the way for the lost, and a simple book offers the most dangerous temptation of all—the chance to glimpse what might have been.

Yet for every moment that chills, there are others that comfort. Neighbors share tea with the strange and the spectral. Laughter echoes through parlors where shadows wait in corners. Even in the presence of horror, kindness and courage endure. That is the nature of Madison, a place where hospitality reaches beyond the grave and monsters, once known, are sometimes less frightening than the silence of being forgotten.

Blending gothic atmosphere with wit and wonder, Haunting Season in Madison is perfect for readers who want their horror touched with humanity and their hauntings wrapped in Southern charm. These are stories to savor on a cool evening with a quilt across your knees and a steaming cup beside you, tales that linger like the sweet scent of magnolias after rain: comforting, unsettling, and unforgettable.

Step into Madison during the haunting season, where ghosts and monsters wait at the edge of the lamplight, ready to tell you their stories.
