a really fun halloween read! the atmosphere was just fantastic + i loved how well the author captured the spookiness of the season. this story had horrors of a supernatural nature juxtaposed with completely human horrors, which is a trope i'm always into. admittedly, the plot isn't very strong, but it's a fun, mindless kind of read with some really good horror moments.

my only complaint is that this book put the spooky spirit in my body + it's only march, lmao!

Halloween, 1984. 

A father and daughter setting up their annual Haunted Woods for the final time. 

Children getting ready to Trick or Treat through their suburban neighborhood. 

A family setting up for the giant neighborhood Halloween Party. 

Four strange children in outdated Halloween costumes looking terrified and murmuring about The Cunning Man. 

With twin flames for eyes, limbs that are twiggy and long, and a voice like the laughter of long lost children, The Cunning Man stalks the night. 

All Hallows lures the reader in with nostalgic Halloween memories, hooks them with neighborhood gossip, then guts them with a merciless, malevolent monster. 

There is evil in this book, and it will chill you to your core. I can’t recommend it highly enough.
