Harvest Tales &
Midnight Revels: Stories For The Waning Of The Year was published in 1998
by Bald Mountain Books.
This blog started out as Michael Doherty's Personal Library, containing reviews of books that normally don't get reviewed: basically adult and cult books. It was all just a bit of fun, you understand. But when I embarked on a three-year Shakespeare study, Shakespeare basically took over, which is a good thing.

Shakespeare Reference in Harvest Tales & Midnight Revels
Harvest Tales &
Midnight Revels: Stories For The Waning Of The Year is a collection of
Halloween stories written by various authors for an annual Halloween
story-reading party. The collection was edited by Michael Mayhew and
illustrated by Mona Caron. It contains one Shakespeare reference, though not in
any of the stories. It comes in the afterword, written by Michael Mayhew and
Joshua Mertz: “On the other hand, the Play’s the thing – or in our case, the Stories
are” (p. 209). This is a reference to Hamlet’s line, “The play’s the
thing/Wherein I’ll catch the conscience of the king.”
