Days of the Dead
Once a year, the town of Desolada celebrates death in three ways:
HALLOWEEN
...is the holiday of Diane Lassiter celebrated as a child. Before she moved to Desolada. Before she heard the dark stories of the ancient past.
DIAS DE LOS MUERTOS
...is the local tradition, when Spanish children eat sugar skulls and honor the dead with family feasts in the graveyard.
DAYS OF THE DEAD
...is the legend no one speaks about. But there are those who still follow the old ways. Who whisper of a time when the earth opens up and the flames of hell feed on the flesh of the living.
Diane never knew the truth about Halloween.
Until she was chosen.
