Horror at Halloween, Prologue and Part Five, Cody — Stephen Jones

OXRUN STATION HAS ALWAYS BEEN DIFFERENT.
Nobody can really explain it. You just have to understand that bizarre things happen there. They just do. Weird things. The kind of things you don't even want to dream about in your worst nightmares.
Trick-or-treat is crazy enough, with ghosts and goblins and witches and warlocks and all manner of other horrors roaming the streets. But in Oxrun Station, the masks aren't always made of rubber.
It's Halloween in Oxrun Station, and Cody Banning and his friends must find a way to stop a mysterious old man from slowly killing the kids in town so that he can live forever . . .
The fabric of the cosmos is unravelling and dark and dangerous things are leaking across the borders . . . For five unsuspecting teenagers, their lives will never be the same again as they discover the hidden terrors lurking beneath the surface of their quiet town and experience the most horrifying Halloween of them all . . .
This year in Oxrun Station, THE TRICK IS TO STAY ALIVE!
