Stingy Jack is back, and all soon changes when he's found unconscious at the door step of two college students.
*****
After a wild Halloween party, Maud and her drunken roommate Lyn stumble home, only to find an unconscious man with a pumpkin face at their doorstep. Maud, a lover of all things spooky and bizarre, is intrigued and decides to bring the stranger inside. What starts as a curious attempt to question his eerily realistic costume turns into a shocking revelation: this isn't just any man-he's the infamous folklore figure, Stingy Jack.
As Maud grapples with the reality of hosting a legendary trickster, Lyn remains skeptical, worried about the dangers of having such a monstrous-looking, yet seemingly harmless, being in their home. But Maud's fascination grows, and so does her determination to uncover Jack's mysterious return.
Haunted by voices in his head, Jack is desperate for answers of his own. Why is he back, and what fate awaits him? As he searches for the truth, Jack faces a life-altering choice: change his ways and defy his cursed past, or allow history to repeat itself, living up to the name that doomed him.

The Reign of the Pumpkin Princess
Twenty-five years after Sally restored the flow of time in Halloween Town, she and Jack Skellington now reign as king and queen. Their daughter, Judy, has been crowned the Pumpkin Princess and named heir to the throne. But Judy's birth brought more than celebration; it came with a terrifying prophecy. On her eighteenth birthday, Judy is fated to be consumed by a darkness so powerful it could destroy her and bring ruin to Halloween Town itself. That same day, she is destined to meet her true love. The connection between the two is unclear, but the danger is undeniable. To protect her, her parents keep her hidden from most of the world. Judy is only permitted to venture out during select celebrations, learning what she can of the customs she will one day rule, yet never truly experiencing the holiday she was born to embody. Haunted by dreams and longing for freedom, Judy yearns to take part in Halloween, unaware that her very existence might doom it. When she uncovers the prophecy for herself, she defies her sheltered life and sets out to find answers, led only by fragments of ancient texts pointing to a mysterious realm called the Town of the Forgotten. It is a land filled with lost traditions, faded holidays, and beings left behind by time. It may hold the key to rewriting her fate or sealing it. But what Judy discovers there awakens something far worse than the prophecy foretold. With a strange new companion by her side, she must fight to protect not just Halloween Town but every holiday realm from vanishing forever. *This book takes place after Hour of the Pumpkin Queen.
