Thirty years ago, a blues musician called the Bone Man killed the devil at the crossroads, only to be beaten and hung like a scarecrow in a cornfieldâor so the story goes. Today, the people of Pine Deep celebrate their townâs grisly past by luring tourists to the famous haunted hayride, full of chills and scares. But this year as Halloween approaches, âThe Spookiest Town in Americaâ will learn the true meaning of fear. Its residents will see the real face of evil lurking behind the masks of ordinary people. They will feel itâin their hearts, in their bones, in their nightmares. Because evil never dies. It only grows stronger . . .
