Chiller from Sarrantonio

After I was a ways into this book, I realized that I vaguely remembered Orangefield from the earlier book "Hallows Eve." It seems to me as though this earlier book (released in 2004) was a bit stronger, especially given that my memory is so bad that to have remembered anything about a book two years after reading it is somewhat amazing! However, this was a fairly good book as well. I won't go into plot details - the book focuses around Samhain, The Celtic Lord of the Dead (according to this book) and his attempts on behalf of a shadowy background figure he calls Dark One to destroy the world. My main gripe is the fact that everyone in the town talks about "Sam" sightings, when anyone who knows anything about Samhain knows it is pronounced "sow-en." Of course, probably the residents of Orangefield are too ignorant to know that . . . Anyway, if you like Sarrantonio, if you have read his previous books about Orangefield, or if you just feel like a fun, scary Halloween book, give this one a try.
