Two novels of Halloween terror, one unforgettable story.
Two ghosts, one night of Halloween tragedy, and a demon who's played the long game. Meet Karen (overthinking genius, rule-follower extraordinaire) and Tim (definitely not a genius, but working on it), both trapped by the same supernatural force for very different reasons. (And you thought YOUR middle school experience was haunting...)
This special edition box set contains two complete novels: Ghost at Dawn and Ghost at Dusk.
THE STORY:
Halloween, 1981 left its scars on one small New England town. But while most folks tried to forget, two spirits remained behind - each fighting their own private war with the same demon, neither knowing they weren't alone.
There's Tim Lane, forever fourteen, who's watched for decades as the demon that killed him slowly poisons his father's mind. When a teenage girl moves to town and starts digging into his story, Tim realizes he's running out of time. Because she's just discovered something terrifying: Tim isn't the demon's only prisoner, and saving his father might mean leaving someone else behind.
Then there's Karen Jarvis, former child prodigy, whose brilliant mind hasn't stopped racing just because she's dead. She's turned following the rules into an art form: tap forty-two points in perfect order, never acknowledge the visions, absolutely don't reach out to the living. But when she discovers her whole afterlife has been an elaborate manipulation, Karen does the unthinkable - she starts breaking every rule she's ever known.
Now both ghosts are racing against time, each forced to confront the same demon with very different weapons: Tim's desperate determination against Karen's analytical genius. But as their separate battles begin to intertwine, one truth becomes clear: sometimes the scariest part of being dead isn't the demons you're fighting - it's realizing you might not have to fight them alone.
This special edition box set contains both complete novels: Ghost at Dawn and Ghost at Dusk.
(Warning: This collection contains advanced supernatural mathematics, delayed teenage rebellion, one very persistent demon, and proof that sometimes the scariest monsters aren't the ones you can see. Also forty-two mysterious points that absolutely must be tapped in the correct order, because even in death, some rules matter.)
