An Illustrated Mystery · Kindle & Paperback

“Halloween was supposed to end when the children went home. In Glen Canyon, something has other plans.”

As costumes fill Glen Park and candy buckets grow heavy, Mia notices things no one else seems to see. Familiar faces behave strangely. Children are no longer quite themselves. And from the castle above the canyon comes the sound of a small black bell.

With her brother Nico caught in the mystery, Mia must discover what is happening before the night takes another turn — and before the witch's secrets reach beyond the park.

The Halloween That Would Not End brings the spirit of the old radio novelas to the page. Narration, dialogue, sound cues, and expressive gestures invite readers to become the voices of the story. Read it alone, perform it together, or let each family member take a part.

Keep the lights low. Give the silence room. And when the little black bell rings — listen.
