Part 1 : 3 OCT – 10 OCT
I came from a hellish fire and a lush green forest. My birth was a paradox, drawn from flame and foliage, from the devouring blaze that strips all to ash and the quiet, living pulse of bark and leaf.

Part 2: 10th OCT – 17th OCT
It was during the roar of the textile boom, in the restless middle of the 1800s, that I came to Fall River, Massachusetts, a city swelling with mills and money. The streets choked with the dust of cloth

Praise for The Halloween Misfits Conference

Underneath Sentence: Discover why this chilling novel is leaving readers spellbound.

Mark T.

This book got under my skin. It’s not about jump scares; it’s that slow, creeping feeling that something is wrong in the Clown Motel. The atmosphere is so thick and unsettling. I kept looking up from reading, expecting to see something out of place in my own house. It’s the kind of dread that sticks with you.

Chloe P.

I’ll never look at a buffet the same way again. The food scenes were some of the most original and genuinely chilling horror I’ve read in ages. The description of the characters just gorging themselves while others realize the truth was so disturbing. It was a brilliant, nasty twist on a party scene.

Alex R.

The relationship between Danny and Alex felt so real. Their bond as rodeo clowns made the horror hit so much harder. You really feel their isolation and panic as they realize what’s happening while everyone else is blissfully unaware. It’s a story about friendship in the face of utter terror.
