Thank you so much to @stmartinspress for allowing me to read this awesome thriller in exchange for my honest review!
This horror story is told from multiple POVs and takes place on Halloween in 1984, Coventry, Massachusetts. It’s about some creepy-looking kids dressed in faded, old costumes from a different generation and they’re just popping up around the neighborhood, tagging along with the town’s trick-or-treaters, and looking terrified as they constantly check their surroundings.
This main storyline is woven between the multiple storylines being told from the different POVs of neighborhood kids, teens, and parents. The true horror of this book was the raw realities the characters were going through and how the same circumstances can affect those involved differently, but just as devastatingly and traumatic all the same.
All around GREAT story, I loved the folklore involved, and I felt an attachment to the characters which is always a plus for me as a reader. I do wish Barb having a faint memory of the Cunning Man came full circle though - I thought there’d be a curveball toward the end.
