Carved Paperback Edition

Description

New stock due in on the 18th March.

Last Halloween, he only wanted his stepbrother to want him back. A mask borrowed from a friend, a ritual whispered about online, and a reckless wish made in the dark. He thought nothing would come of it. He was wrong.

Now, his stepbrother is being hunted. Pumpkins carved with cruel messages appear on the doorstep, left by someone who shouldn’t know his secrets. A figure in a pumpkin mask stalks the shadows, watching and waiting. He doesn’t know who is behind it, or that something far worse than obsession was born from that ritual.

Because the mask has a hunger of its own.
And this Halloween, it wants him too.
