But when a masked man enters the bus, it'll be the ride not the party she never forgets in Edward Lorn's LAST STOP. * Christians say Halloween is a pagan holiday, and Keagan's mother doesn't think Jesus would approve of celebrating it. Little does she realize that they're about to find out if that's true from Jesus himself in Mark Matthews' BODY OF CHRIST. * Any cornfield Halloween party filled with teenagers dressed like iconic horror villains is bound to end with murder and mayhem. But when a grim reaper throws in a twist, the killing really gets out of hand in Jason Parent's PULP. Buy the paperback and get the eBook FREE!
