An ancient ghost, set loose for the month of October. Superstitious teenagers, set loose on their own for a night or two. The tragedy of death and the mystery of sudden disappearance...This is a short-story collection, updated every Halloween.

Welcome to Ridge, the only magical town in all of New England. And for a good reason, because, um, what would /you/ do if you saw your neighbor tossing fireballs up and down the street? With all the mages in the area holed up in one little town, there's a lot of loose magic -- meaning, yes, your parking space did just scream at you, better hope it didn't eat your car. And then there's the Nightstalkers -- but we won't go into that. Wouldn't want to scare you off, right?

This is what happens when we untangle the entire history of the Faldrean Empire in one week. Crazy noble ladies, a six-year-old spy kid, and the writer accidentally forgetting to kill their Emperor off.
