Ghost (The Halloween Boys, #1)

by Kat Blackthorne

Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win. Steven King

There is a child in every one of us who is still a trick-or-treater looking for a brightly-lit front porch. Robert Brault

We stopped checking for monsters under our bed when we realized they were inside us. Charles Darwin

If you grew up as a little dark-heart, like I did, you always felt different. Too shy, too quiet, too nervous. You liked Halloween while everyone else liked Christmas. You loved autumn when everyone else wished for summer. It can be lonely feeling like you don’t belong. Sometimes it feels easier to try to conform to what the others are doing, or just disappear entirely. But Halloween invites us to celebrate the strange. Monster romance embraces falling for the demon. Maybe you are a little different and maybe there’s something dark inside you. But I’m here to tell you, in more than one hundred thousand words, that’s okay. Are you a quiet little ghost? Are you death itself? You are? I think that’s rad. Keep being that. You don’t need anyone to save you, and you’re more terrible than anything you’ll find in the woods.
