When Halloween Comes
Halloween was supposed to be fun. Instead, it becomes a trap.
Nine stories. One night. And nine reasons to never look at Halloween the same way again.
A teenage girl watches over her little brother as strange costumed children linger in their neighborhood long after trick-or-treating should be over. Soon, no one else seems able to see them-and they want her brother to come outside.
Inside a haunted attraction, impossible rooms begin replacing the sets. At a cemetery, a second empty chair appears at a family table where only one place was meant to be left for the dead.
On a pumpkin farm, carved jack-o'-lanterns begin speaking in voices they should not know. Deep in the woods, a lantern walk crosses paths with a hunt that was never supposed to be there. Elsewhere, a Halloween livestream turns sinister when a mysterious viewer starts predicting events before they happen.
Decorated neighborhoods, haunted attractions, cemeteries, museums, pumpkin fields, forests, and darkened streets become the settings for stories where games stop being games, old rules exist for a reason, and something supernatural may be hiding behind the mask.
Blending supernatural horror, suspense, eerie traditions, and modern-day mysteries, When Halloween Comes explores what happens after the crowds thin out, the jack-o'-lanterns begin to fade, and no one can quite tell who is wearing a costume-and who is not.
Perfect for readers who love Halloween horror, supernatural stories, creepy traditions, eerie mysteries, and unsettling tales that turn an ordinary October night into a nightmare.
On Halloween, everyone wears a mask. Some things do too.
