Book synopsis

For many people the mention of autumn conjures an image of Indian summer and multicolored trees. For others, autumn is more than an idyllic scene, it represents an experience composed of ominous rustlings in the night, preternatural moonlight, predatory winds, skeletonized trees, and, of course, Halloween. Autumn transforms this particular group of people by stimulating their perceptions and imaginations. Autumn becomes for them a peculiar substance to be absorbed through the pores of the skin until it saturates the soul like wood smoke. Come October... opens a window on a terrifying world where unremarkable objects such as a plate of spaghetti, the seeds of a pumpkin, a guest book, assume sinister connotations and lead to unexpected consequences. Come October... invites the reader to experience the underside of Halloween, and the few months preceding it, through twelve tales of horror and complementary verse.
