Hallows Eve

"A cemetery with ghosts rising like screaming tendrils of smoke from their graves; Trick or Treaters whose goblin features are real, not costumes; an army of pumpkin men; they're all here and more, waiting for Corrie Phaeder to come home. Corrie Phaeder has spent the last twelve years in Los Angeles -- at the age of thirty he's a succesful photographer of famous people, has a girlfriend who adores him, and has everything he's ever wanted in life. And then, almost in the blink of an eye, his career is ruined, his girlfriend leaves him, and he finds himself on a train to Orangefield, the one place on Earth he never wanted to see again -- the place where all the horrible dreams or memories never end, and where, this Halloween, a messenger from a world just beyond ours named John, with the body of a scarecrow and the face of a living pumpkin, will usher Corrie Phaeder into the last battle for everything"--Front flap.
