This is a fast paced Buffy story based on a Halloween legend of a scarecrow coming to life when it rains on Halloween. Of course like any legend in the Hellmouth this is true and is actually Samhain the spirit of Halloween. Alongside this we have some zombies and vampires too. I thought this was a great quick read, it feels like an episode of the show. It is very dated and some of the conversations felt forced. This is only the second book from the entire collection and this is the first original story so the authors were finding their footing. I still think its a great read especially for the Halloween season.
