Fifteen-year-old Malik Williams has always loved Halloween-something his hometown barely acknowledges-so when his family visits Salem, Massachusetts, in October, he's determined to revive its haunted spirit. But Salem's residents haven't forgotten the horrors of two years ago, when a masked killer terrorized their town, leaving a trail of victims and an unspoken ban on Halloween celebrations. Undeterred, Malik plans a Halloween party with friends in Salem's abandoned lighthouse, hoping to bring back the holiday's thrill.
As Malik and his friends set up for the night, the atmosphere shifts from festive to sinister. Strange figures appear, accusations and distrust flare up between friends, and Malik begins to feel the weight of Salem's dark history closing in on them. When a series of deadly revelations expose the real killer among them, Malik learns the tragic reason behind the murders-and just how far someone would go to bury Halloween for good.
Taut with suspense, Halloween is Dead is a haunting tale of revenge, betrayal, and the chilling power of secrets, exploring the lengths people will go to protect the past and keep the horrors of Halloween alive.
