A special shoutout to his late Grandma Barb, who told him to write his stories down.SYNOPSIS:Soon-to-be college graduate Seth McCartney finds his love for his favorite October pastime – visiting haunted house attractions – fading. His best friend and fellow horror enthusiast, Peyton Fischer, has already moved on from this tradition and wants to help Seth do the same, but not without one final hurrah. He suggests they find a fabled, traveling haunted house attraction that’s said to be too extreme and scary to finish.Intrigued, Seth and his friends follow a lead to the elusive haunt’s doorstep. But there’s a reason this locale has a frightening reputation, especially when its hallways contain the depths of true terror.LINKS:www.djslaterauthor.com
