The Devil's Gate, the looming barrier that keeps the demons and nightmares at bay every night of the year except for Halloween, comes crashing down. An army of steam-powered automatons, led by the Devil himself, finally gets the better of Jack of the Lantern, the man who tricked the Devil and gave us the jack o' lantern for protection on the darkest night of the year. With their steam-powered soldiers, the demons no longer fear Jack of the Lantern as they pour out in to the world to get into whatever mischief they desire.

A charming Halloween tale!
Reviewed: 07-19-18
Halloween Jack is a charming tale told in the tradition of the myths and fairytales I loved as a kid--with a bit of steampunk thrown in. It focuses on three cousins with each their own unique talents, who must work together to close the Devil's Gate and send the Devil and his minions back to Hell. It's a quick-moving story (even literally leaping across the ocean at one point), with enough plot twists and turns to satisfy any desire for excitement.
The author narrates his own story and does a fantastic job, supplying each character with his or her own voice, and reading out the sound effects with a storyteller's flair.
