When the Leaves Fall

Every town holds its share of secrets. Some more than others... Halloween is coming soon to Haverville, and two best friends have decided to test their courage against the local haunted house, Graver's Farm. With the brashness and wildness of youth behind them, Chris and Kyle begin an October adventure which takes them beyond dark cornfields and dusky landscapes, forcing them both down an unexpected path which will change them forever, and ultimately threatens their very lives. The sights and sounds of Halloween surround them at every angle, but the night can wear some very unpleasant masks, as they will soon find out... In "When the Leaves Fall", Paul Melniczek strips away the Halloween mask of the American Dream to reveal the haunted tragedy lurking beneath the surface. The myths of family, hard work and small towns are all rendered in startling orange and black colors, and this taut little work packs a surprising emotional punch. A welcome addition to the ranks of Halloween fiction. Lisa Morton, Bram Stoker Award winning author of THE HALLOWEEN ENCYCLOPEDIA, THE SAMHANACH, and THE CASTLE OF LOS ANGELES.
