I wish this had been available for my spooky season reads, but it was good nonetheless. This felt like it had the same vibe as Dark Harvest by Norman Partridge, while being entirely different. Maybe it’s just the pumpkin heads.

Really liked this story. The descriptive elements built the tension at just the correct pace. And as a writer myself I found it inspired many possibilities for my own creations. Would definitely recommend this for a read on a cold winter's night.
