Publisher Description
Jack is a gambler, a conman, and a murderer whose luck finally gives out one Halloween when he dies in a Baton Rouge back alley. The wily Jack tricks the demon sent to collect him and gains one more year of life, during which he plans to repent. But Jack soon falls back into his old ways, and before he knows it the year has passed, it's Halloween again, and Jack is facing off against the Devil himself in a New Orleans casino in this dark and disturbing re-telling of the legend of Jack-o'-lantern...
Customer Reviews
marvelous!
Just had a break and read Lisa Morton's "Halloween Jack". Absolutely wonderfully
rendered. Loved it. Just classic. So neat it's slightly adapted. It's got Morton's signatures all over it.
Her writing is like the work of a master phlebotomist: you think everything's okay, but when you make to stand, you're light-headed because you've been drained of all your blood, watching said phlebotomist carrying your tray of blood-filled tubes away as you die like a smothering guppy on the floor.
