The Last House on Halloween Street: When The Dead Come Knocking (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781105934940)

They came with one warning: Don't answer the door after sunset on Halloween night.

Desperate for a fresh start, Sarah Brennan moves her two children into a beautiful Victorian manor at the end of Halloween Street-a house sold at an impossible price in the isolated town of Hollow's End, Massachusetts. It seems too good to be true.

It is.

The knocking starts at 3:33 AM. Three deliberate raps. Always from inside the locked rooms.

Her son begins talking to a boy named Ben-a child who drowned in the basement well in 1963. Her daughter draws pictures of a family she's never met, all of them drowning. And the neighbors watch with pity and fear, knowing what Sarah doesn't:

Every seven years, the house demands a sacrifice.

As Halloween approaches, Sarah uncovers the horrifying truth behind Hollow's End's most powerful families-a secret society called The Collectors, a ritual that requires blood, and a choice no mother should ever have to make. The spirits aren't just haunting the house. They're waiting. Counting down. And when the dead come knocking on Halloween night, someone has to answer.

One child's life for the others. Or all of them die together.

The house won't let them leave. The town won't let them talk. And midnight is coming.

Some doors should never be answered. Some houses should never be entered. And some secrets are buried beneath the foundation for a reason.
