Horror novella in a small town on Halloween night, 1963. Throughout the novella you fallow several perspectives on the night of the Run, which is an annual event in this town where boys between 16-18 hunt the October Boy a Jack-o-lantern headed scarecrow that comes alive on Halloween night. However the novella goes far deeper and darker then on first appearance. The length of the novella is perfect for telling this story and delivers the story amazingly. The small town is creepy and suffocating while being populating by people that are full of character and emotional depth. I recommend this if you are looking for a Halloween Horror novella with thought provoking aspects and emotional impact.
