Willy Hynes can’t understand how he pulled a patch of caribou skin out of his dream. Willy’s mentor, Vince, explains that other residents of Sleepy Owl have had similar dreams. It is a sign to join the Pniese, a secret society formed for Halloween, when the undead are allowed to cross over. This year, they must recover a leprechaun’s stolen gold and find a missing child gorgon without turning into stone. There is also a traveler entering Sleepy Owl. His name is Jack and until recently, he was doomed to walk the earth. Now, Jack is free to commit all the chaos he pleases.
