Readers unfamiliar with "Devoured" by Paul Melniczek may prefer to read these notes only after reading the story.
....What I now saw left me stunned and horrified, revealing an image that was to be forever graven into my blackest dreams, and I knew then that all the stories I had been told about Halloween were real . . .
A graphic, non-supernatural urban horror story, "Devoured" by Paul Melniczek is set just before the holiday. Someone is butchering skid-row vagrants, and one night our cop narrator finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time.
