OctoberTown

Every Halloween, one street becomes the beating heart of the town—a blazing corridor of jack-o’-lanterns, towering skeletons, and lavish Victorian houses dressed to look haunted. For a writer and his wife, it’s been a beloved tradition—a night full of candy-sweet air, warm orange glow, and the kind of magic October saves for those who still believe in it. Tonight, it becomes the last perfect memory of his life. Now shattered and unraveling, he obsessively rewrites the events of that fateful night as reality and fiction begin bleeding into one another. But in OctoberTown, you don’t always get to choose your story. Sometimes, the story chooses you.
