Publisher Description
ON HALLOWEEN NIGHT, eight trick-or-treaters gather at the haunted house by the edge of town, ready for adventure. But when Something whisks their friend Pip away, only one man, the sinister Carapace Clavicle Moundshroud, can help the boys find him. “If you want to know what Halloween is, or if you simply want an eerie adventure, take this mystery history trip. You couldn’t ask for better than master fantasizer Ray Bradbury,” raves The Boston Globe.

“I first read this about 15 years ago and until recently couldn’t remember the title or author. The cover is what I recognized and I wanted to re-read it and see if it was as cool as I remembered it being. It is. Bradbury rocks. This is a real tribute to Halloween and to that childhood love and fascination with the holiday. Bradbury’s creative weirdness is so fun to read and picture (I can see Tim Burton being quite inspired by this book. . . Edward Gorey too). There were brief moments when my interest began to drift a bit, but the finish is so interesting and cool that it makes up for virtually any lags that came before it.”
