Summary: It's Halloween in Sunnydale
and Xander and Willow warn Buffy not go out on Halloween
if it's raining. See, the rain here is magical on
Halloween and if it lands on a scarecrow that scarecrow
will come alive with the spirit of Halloween, which is
basically the evil Samhein who comes back every Halloween
to hunt the Slayer. He's killed one before and nothing's
going to stop him from getting to Buffy. While at a
Halloween bash at The Bronze, Buffy is forced to go to
the cemetery to fight the legions of the undead. After
several fights she encounters Samhein, the Pumpkin King,
who's ready and willing to take her life. |

Review: God I loved this book. And
since I love Halloween so much, this made the novel even
more fun to read. I loved the whole idea and the
Halloween rain falling down to create a pumpkin king. The
pumpkin king was deliciously creepy and was incredibly
well written in order to give us a sense of what exactly
Buffy was fearing. The whole atmosphere of the novel was
dark and it did feel like a Buffy Halloween special that
could have be put on TV, if the show had a somewhat
larger budget. It felt like a magical story and I
especially loved the ending with Buffy heading back into
the burning building, wanting to finish off this beast
forever. A wonderful novel and one I recommend to anyone. |
