"Ralston lures the reader in with spooky nostalgia, reverting us back to naive trick-or-treaters. Like a master storyteller, he takes our giddiness and innocence and unleashes Hell as the true spirit of Halloween comes out to play. You can judge this book by its cover. It delivers on all levels." - Nick Roberts, author of The Exorcist's House and Mean Spirited "Duncan Ralston is constantly proving himself to be the sort of old-school horror scribe our genre needs. Helloween is as epic as it is fun!" - Judith Sonnet, author of The Home "Helloween proves there's no subgenre of horror Duncan can't write. If you haven't considered Ralston the king of indie horror, this small town epic will prove it to you." - Gage Greenwood, author of Bunker Dogs and On a Clear Day, You Can See Block Island "This book was so much fun. A bloody and brilliant tour de force that delves into some pretty deep religion and science debates amidst the chaos. I loved it!" - MJ Mars, author of The Suffering and We've Already Gone too Far "Helloween proves once again Ralston is more than the writer of Woom... he's one of the best paranormal horror writers currently. Just phenomenal." - Steve Stred, author of Mastodon and Churn the Soil "Helloween is ambitious, expansive, horrific, and a hell of a story. The reader will get to know these characters well (no small feat considering how many there are) and laugh with them during the light moments and gasp during the shocking ones. Simply put, Ralston has outdone himself." - Andrew Adams, author of Black Widow Blues "Helloween is like Ghostland on Red Bull. One of my top 5 horror reads of 2024.' - RJ Clark, author of the Staycation Series
