Halloween Jack Series

"Curse of Frost is easily as much fun as the original." Chrstopher Kellen Seven years after defeating the Devil and his minions with their steam-powered automatons, the Devil strikes again. Once again, the darkest and vilest creature in all creation seeks to open the Devil's Gate once and for all, allowing for all the legions of the dark realm free to roam any night of the year they wish. What is the Curse of Frost, and what does it have to do with the family line of Jack of the Lantern. Halloween Jack and his cousins must learn what this means and how to stop the Devil before the sun sets on Christmas Eve, or mankind may lose just enough hope to give the Dark One enough power to escape his Dark Realm forever. The Halloween Jack books are part swashbuckling adventure, part steampunk fantasy... with more than a dash of Irish Mythology mixed in, just to make things interesting. If you enjoy stories with clever and cunning heroes, Halloween Jack is a hero for you!

Even though his parents raised him with stories of the old traditions, John O'Brien, a young, Boston-born Irishman, never truly believed, especially not the old tales of Jack of the Lantern. In the old stories, the mythical figure Jack of the Lantern has supposedly protected humanity on All Hallow's Eve for centuries upon centuries because the demons and dark creatures fear him too much to approach any jack o' lantern. One Halloween night, John learns the truth when the demons come for him, leading an army of steam-powered soldiers. With these steam soldiers, The Devil and his kin have finally gotten the better of Jack of the Lantern and broken through the Devil's Gate to wreak havoc, mischief, and misery throughout the world.   With the help of his cousins, Moira O'Neil who knows the special ritual to close the Devil's Gate, Daniel McRory the inventor, John must take up the mantle of Jack of the Lantern and create a new legend great enough, and terrible enough, to scare the Dark Lord and his dark legions back into their dark realm. The Halloween Jack books are part swashbuckling adventure, part steampunk fantasy, that twist and turn the traditions of old tales and legends upside down and inside out. If you enjoy a rollicking tale with clever and cunning heroes, Halloween Jack and his friends are heroes for you!
