Book Overview
For untold ages a dark presence has shrouded the small town of Orangefield. In addition to the plentiful pumpkins that gave the town its name, Orangefield is home to the dreaded Lord of Death himself, Samhain. Despite rumors of his existence, and rare, brief sightings, Samhain has long been content to leave the local inhabitants alone. But that's about to change... When a boy from the town disappears, detective Bill Grant is convinced Samhain is responsible. But even Grant cannot imagine the horrific extent of the Lord of Death's grand scheme. As what may prove to be the last Halloween approaches, the fate of the world will depend on the survival of a small group of people, pawns in a terrifying game of cosmic proportions.

Chiller from Sarrantonio
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
After I was a ways into this book, I realized that I vaguely remembered Orangefield from the earlier book "Hallows Eve." It seems to me as though this earlier book (released in 2004) was a bit stronger, especially given that my memory is so bad that to have remembered anything about a book two years after reading it is somewhat amazing! However, this was a fairly good book as well. I won't go into plot details - the book focuses around Samhain, The Celtic Lord of the Dead (according to this book) and his attempts on behalf of a shadowy background figure he calls Dark One to destroy the world. My main gripe is the fact that everyone in the town talks about "Sam" sightings, when anyone who knows anything about Samhain knows it is pronounced "sow-en." Of course, probably the residents of Orangefield are too ignorant to know that . . . Anyway, if you like Sarrantonio, if you have read his previous books about Orangefield, or if you just feel like a fun, scary Halloween book, give this one a try.
