*Note: This post contains a zombie herd’s worth of spoilers for both Season 6 of the TV show and Volume 17 of the comic. Season 7 of AMC’s The Walking Dead premiers on October 23. As we prepare to learn the outcome of season 6’s cliffhanger ending, I want to revisit …

As with any anthology, the quality of the stories in 'Dead Letters' is uneven, and there are some flubbed endings. But on the whole, the all-star writers who contributed to this volume do indeed deliver.

In a jaded age, 'Outcast' explores the power of faith to vanquish fear and the unknown in the latest TV adaptation of one of Robert Kirkman's hit comics.

Small-town people and secrets – a familiar combination of factors that make the town of Waterbury comfortable and welcoming, as a small town should feel. But small towns have secrets … and when those start to come out, the blood begins to flow.

'Prince of Nightmares' is a fast-paced and cinematic horror novel. Rather than relying on shock value, McNee’s horror arises from thrusting interesting characters together in an unsettling setting. These characters face dangers beyond their control, but they are hardly blameless victims. For our nightmares are all in our heads—whom else can we blame for them but ourselves?

Because this is 'The Walking Dead,' a much-beloved character dies. And every time things start to look up for our heroes, the situation quickly gets worse than they had imagined. The more capable the group becomes, the greater the scope of dangers they face. Writer Robert Kirkman really excels at upping the stakes and the tension. And 48 issues in one volume makes 'The Walking Dead Compendium Three' a must-have for TWD fans.

'Hell's Ditch' is a rollercoaster ride that clatters along at a wonderful pace and is a fantastic start to what promises to be an engaging and horrific series. Bring on the next book!

Eli Morgan Gesner’s 'Condemned' will make you never want to step foot in an abandoned building again.

'The Bazaar of Bad Dreams' is a fantastic collection whether you want a good, spooky tale to make you appreciate the fire on a cold night or want to dive into the subconscious swamp of a master horror writer’s mind.

'Ash vs. Evil Dead' takes a cult favorite movie series and adapts it into a TV show that remains true to the original while modernizing it for today's audience.

With mixed results, 'Some Kind of Hate' tells the story of what happens when someone is pushed too far by bullies, wishes for revenge, and gets a little ghostly assistance with the problem.

The end of the world as a whole is reflected brilliantly in the end of the world for just one man in Adam Nevill's dark and brutal 'Lost Girl.'

'Lie in Wait' is a perfect mystery companion for the lengthening autumn nights and is almost certain to become another notch in Eric Rickstad’s bestseller belt.

'American Horror Story: Hotel' opens strong in the gorgeous Hotel Cortez, where the Countess (Lady Gaga) rules over a den of monsters.
