Halloween Fiend by C.V. Hunt
Chosen by Brian
Strang isn’t the small, quaint town it appears to be. It’s haunted every night by a creature the townsfolk refer to as Halloween. Once the sun sets each day, Halloween emerges to collect its treats: a small, live offering from each household. The residents comply because no one wants to be the target of Halloween’s tricks. But the nightmare of residing in Strang is nothing compared to the yearly ritual Halloween demands of the citizens on All Hallows’ Eve.
“Halloween Fiend is a Halloween cult classic waiting for its cult. CV Hunt wrote one of the great Halloween books and did so in an original way.”
