Thirty-seven years ago, the White Mountain town of Harrow, New Hampshire prepared for its annual Harroween Festival. The air carried wood smoke and the sweet rot of fallen leaves. Pumpkins glowed on porches, bonfires crackled in clearings, and families moved through streets lined with maples burning crimson and gold.

​

But past the town’s edge waited the Harrowing Hills. For generations, parents have warned children not to wander there after dark, speaking in low tones of the Shadow Door and what slept behind it.

​

Thirty-seven years ago, a boy named Jack Levi watched his sister disappear and when he tried to save her, he was swallowed by a swirling mass of ravens.

​

Now it is happening again.

​

Children are vanishing. Those found are marked with wounds that make seasoned detectives turn away. Ravens with milk-white eyes perch on fences and power lines, watching in perfect silence. Every piece of evidence pointed toward something impossible.

​

Detective Joseph Rodale pursued impossible facts as Horton Mudgett fought a bloodline curse—an inheritance of sacrifice to an ancient hunger that’s fed on this town for centuries.

​

Past the Shadow Door lied the Crescent Realm where Reverend Jack Levi faced a world of waking forests, forgotten gods, and a cosmic horror known as the King in Yellow.

​

As Halloween approached secrets clawed their way out of shallow graves. Debts long ignored come due, and the barrier between our world and the veil beyond becomes thin for Jack Levi.

​

Some paths should never be crossed.

Some hungers were never meant to be fed.
