Long Live the Pumpkin Queen by Shea Ernshaw
Shea Ernshaw has a lovely way with words, and I was enthralled by her writing. Everything was so vivid and easy to imagine, and I really enjoyed this as a sequel to my all-time favourite movie.
It's not what I'd envision as a sequel (I also really love the video game sequel, Oogie's Revenge) but I see this as a great "what if?" story, perhaps canon to its own timeline.
I'm not sure how much I like the Sally origin and Dr. Finkelstein stuff, but again think it was well written and realised. In my eyes, there will never be an official story to Tim Burton's masterpiece, but I'll jump at any chance to return to Halloween Town and beyond.
Also has a surprising amount of Queen Elizabeth II, for some reason.
