Publisher's Synopsis
Halloween, All Hallow's Eve, the one night of the year the Devil and his kin are free to roam the world. Only Jack o' the Lantern, the mythical figure that all demons despise and fear, keeps humanity safe on that darkest of nights. But... What if those dark creatures didn't fear Jack o' the Lantern anymore? What if the Devil's Gate came crashing down, Jack o' the Lantern became trapped, and all the hordes of the darkest realm were free to roam as they wish?
With nothing to keep the dark creatures at bay, only Jack's last three descendants can save the world from the Devil and all his kin. To do that, they must create a legend even bigger and greater than Jack o' the Lantern ever was. Based on one of the oldest Irish legends of Halloween, Halloween Jack and the Devil's Gate will carry you to the heart of how we protect ourselves on the darkest night of the year. "Gallowglas infuses his book with the sensibilities of grand myths and fairytales, garnished with a slice of steampunk. Charming and \quick-moving, with twists aplenty, Halloween Jack and the Devil's Gate is sure to satisfy any reader's desire for excitement!" --Andrea Stewart, author of The Bone Shard Daughter
