Description
On Halloween night in 1963, a small Midwestern town gathers for an annual rite that turns fear into tradition: the legendary October Boy rises from the cornfields, and teenage boys chase the chance to confront him. Pete McCormick, trapped by a future he can’t stand, enters the hunt believing that killing the October Boy could finally make him a winner. As the night spirals into escalating danger, the line between hunter and hunted blurs, forcing Pete to confront what the town truly sacrifices—and why. Blending small-town dread with high-stakes suspense, this Stoker Award–winning novel delivers a chilling, resonant thriller in the spirit of classic American horror.
