Hallows Eve (Limited First Edition, Signed)
SARRANTONIO, Al. Hallows Eve. Baltimore: Cemetery Dance Publications, 2004.
8vo. Original publisher's cloth. Unclipped pictorial dust jacket. 240 pp. First Cemetery Dance edition, first printing will full number line. Limited to 750 unnumbered copies, signed by the author. Now out of print.
Al Sarrantonio spent decades building his Orangefield cycle — a linked series of novels and novellas set in a fictional upstate New York town where the membrane between the living world and whatever lies beyond it grows perilously thin each October. Hallows Eve is the central novel of that cycle: the story of Corrie Phaeder, a man whose career and relationship have collapsed simultaneously and who finds himself on a train back to Orangefield, the one place he has spent his adult life avoiding.
Hallows Eve is among the finest expressions of American small-town life and the very particular dread that comes with the shortening of the days. Sarrantonio was a winner of the Bram Stoker Award, a finalist for the World Fantasy Award, and the editor of some of the most significant horror anthologies of his era, including 999: New Stories of Horror and Suspense. He died in January 2025 at the age of seventy-two, making this signed limited edition a permanent record of his hand on the page.
Fine. Presenting as new.
