There is a sizable cast of characters that work to keep you guessing as to who the murderer/s is/are and how Kate and Quinn tie in to it all. There is also a paranormal mystery with the headless horseman chasing Quinn and Kate in their dreams and real life. Coincidence? I think not! What follows is a murder mystery involving a Lord Halloween who writes letters to reporters describing his murders and wanting them printed so he can get the respect he thinks he deserves for everyone celebrating his holiday. He's also been having dreams about a headless horseman chasing him.
Quinn works at the local paper and immediately is drawn to the new reporter Kate. Unable to ignore her dreams Kate goes back to her hometown to try and solve the Lord Halloween mystery. When Kate was little her mother was murdered by Lord Halloween and he always told her he would come back for her. Our heroine Kate finds herself having dreams where she is being chased by a headless horseman and her mother is trying to warn and help her. You can call me Lord Halloween.īorrowing heavily from the Headless Horseman legend and adding some Jack the Ripper and Freddy Kruger elements, this definitely had a nice Halloween feel to it. You cannot stop me, just as you cannot stop change. By the end of it, five women, five men and five children will be rotting in the ground. I read this for the Modern Masters of Horror square for Halloween Bingo
