PUMPKIN

31 TALES OF TERROR

From the twisted mind that brought you The Hole in the Wall and A Second Skin comes a chilling celebration of horror's darkest holiday.

PUMPKIN – a unique collection of 31 tales designed to unsettle, disturb, and haunt you long after the final page. One terrifying story for each night of October, culminating in a Halloween you'll never forget.

Journey through landscapes of psychological terror, supernatural dread, and unflinching horror as Steven Blackmore weaves nightmares featuring haunted trick-or-treat sacks, bloodthirsty vampires, fracturing realities, and yes—even a killer baby.

THE INTRUDER
Convinced her lover is hiding a wife and family, Jess breaks into his home seeking evidence. What she discovers instead are secrets far more sinister than infidelity—revelations that will shatter her reality and perhaps end her life.

THE HALLOWEEN CUPBOARD GAME
A bitter couple's tradition of seasonal pranks escalates into psychological warfare. As boundaries crumble and malice grows, their game of fear spirals toward murderous consequences neither anticipated.

LAST CALL
Follow an impulsive serial killer's increasingly desperate attempts to dispose of a corpse from his high-rise apartment. Each misstep compounds his predicament, ratcheting tension to unbearable heights as dawn approaches.

ASKING FOR IT
When a self-conscious woman dons a new dress that inexplicably attracts every man she encounters, initial flattery turns to mounting dread. The attention intensifies beyond reason, beyond safety, beyond escape—revealing a terrifying truth beneath the fabric.

KNOCK... KNOCK... KNOCK
Three reckless teenagers gatecrash what they believe is just another funeral wake. Their disrespect disturbs more than grieving relatives—it awakens an ancient Halloween ritual designed to keep the dead in their graves. Now the boundary between worlds has thinned, and something is answering their knock.

Perfect for fans of Joe Hill, Shirley Jackson, and early Stephen King—PUMPKIN delivers bite-sized horrors crafted to be devoured one delicious, deadly morsel at a time.
