The Halloween Man

A Novel of Supernatural Horror

A mysterious New England village. A stolen child. A terrifying birthright. Who holds the key to the chilling mystery of Stonehaven and its desolate woods -- and what unspeakable creature remains trapped within its summer mansion? From New York Times bestselling author Douglas Clegg comes a riveting, edge-of-your-seat supernatural thriller of "overwhelming love and devastating terror."*

"Clegg's stories can chill the spine so effectively that the reader should keep paramedics on standby."-- Dean Koontz, New York Times bestselling author of The Husband, Odd Thomas, Velocity and many others.

"Combining both the quiet horror of a Charles Grant with the all-out spectacles of a Stephen King, Clegg's storytelling has never been better. The Halloween Man is a brilliant novel, up there with the best of Straub, King, and Koontz, and one of the most original tales of terror to come along in quite a while." -- Edward Lee, bestselling horror novelist.
