And the book is stuffed to the gills with performative machismo. Almost everyone in the book is at least a little bit sleazy - the first thing the hero does on Halloween night is break into a cop's house to steal his gun, after all.
A lot of Norman Partridge's writing is in detective fiction, and his writing style in this book is picture-perfect crime noir. Yeah, it's got a pumpkin-headed scarecrow, multiple murders, a conspiracy stretching back generations, and evil both supernatural and mundane, but it feels more like a hardboiled crime novel than anything else. This is a thoroughly fun book, though I hesitate to classify it as straight horror.

He's a smart kid, smarter than most - he knows he can't rely on brute strength and bravado to take down a nightmare with a pumpkin's face - but like almost every other kid in town, he's stuffed full of resentment and anger. Much of our story focuses on 16-year-old Pete McCormick, on his first year going after the October Boy. You don't wanna be on the wrong end of the knife when you're staring down Sawtooth Jack's crooked grin. The only way anyone gets to leave this little podunk Midwestern town you call home is to kill the October Boy before midnight. Luckily, every teenaged boy in town is in the way, armed with clubs and machetes and kitchen knives and pump handles and more. If he makes it to the church before midnight, there's going to be big trouble. It's the time when the October Boy, Sawtooth Jack himself, that pumpkin-headed, candy-stuffed, butcher knife-wielding scarecrow, hauls himself out of the cornfield and makes his way toward town. Well, here we are - it's Halloween night, 1963, in the little podunk Midwestern town you call home, and it's time for the biggest event of the year.
Short horror novel by Norman Partridge, published in 2006. It's black as a licorice whip under an October sky, black as the night that's coming and the long winter nights that will follow, black as the little town it leaves behind. And past all that is the road that leads out of town.

There's the main street, the old brick church in the town square, the movie theater - this year with a Vincent Price double-bill. Things are the same as they've always been.
