Some of the stories may be shared with younger children, but parental discretion is advised. The stories are written from a Catholic perspective, mostly about Catholic characters, and at times include unsavory preternatural things like ghosts and people possessed by demons. The endings are not always happy, and the good guy does not always win. But fear not, there are no werewolves, vampires or other critters who roam freely elsewhere in the horror genre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrigger warning: \u003c\/strong\u003eIf you are looking for a trigger warning, this book is not for you. While there is no offensive language nor descriptions of nudity in these stories, mature, modern themes are engaged from a Catholic perspective and the author expects the effect may be unnerving. It would not be practical to list everything that might be triggering. And, a warning would be a bit of a spoiler. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd if you enjoyed this book, be sure to check out \u003cem\u003eThe Exorcist \u003c\/em\u003eby \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWilliam Peter Blatty \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eand \u003cem\u003eEverything That Rises Must Converge \u003c\/em\u003eby \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eFlannery O'Connor.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Cillo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1942590474\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781942590477\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Infornuity Publishing, LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/27\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.44d","brand":"Joseph Cillo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47452784328959,"sku":"9781942590477","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_309498ef-5a18-4a19-8f33-b6a1db4f7429.jpg?v=1761930457","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-ghost-of-halloween-past-joseph-cillo-9781942590477","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
