In the town of Samain Town, being unusual is considered normal. Here live a mermaid in a stroller, a love-unlucky fairy queen, a vampire who’s afraid of blood, and Headless Jack—the town’s symbol. Jack dreams of finding his head and of having at least one year pass without incidents.
But when October arrives, everything changes. What the townspeople fear most isn’t death—it’s the coming of summer and the arrival of the Smiling Man, who claims the town belongs to him.
This is a tragicomical standalone novel by Anastasia Gor, where it’s absolutely normal to be unusual. You’ll meet charming characters, incredible events, and the Halloween atmosphere. It’s a story about a town ruled by autumn—and its residents, who will surprise you more than once.
