Horace Thorne is a retired paranormal investigator who wants nothing more than a quiet, ghost-free Halloween in Grim’s Hollow, a town known for its “low ghost activity.” But his plans are shattered when his mischievous raven, Edgar, drags him—quite literally—into the biggest supernatural party of the year, hosted by none other than the lonely Spectral Baron of Hollow Manor. Desperate for a Halloween bash that will outshine his ghostly rivals, the Baron enlists Horace’s “expertise” to give his hauntings some flair.
