Jack: A Folk Horror Halloween Story of Scarecrows, Rituals, and Rural Terror

A town steeped in tradition. A festival built on hope. A legend that refuses to die.Charli Clarke never wanted to visit Brackenholt, a secluded town in the middle of nowhere. She never wanted to spend a weekend picking pumpkins. She never wanted to leave the city behind.

But her fiancé and twin brother had other ideas. They promised her countryside charm, crisp air, and a weekend of peace. What they got was something else entirely.

The town is too quiet. The villagers whisper the legend of ‘Jack.’ And as Halloween approaches, Brackenholt’s strange harvest ritual take a terrifying turn.

Charli soon realizes the festival isn’t about celebration. It’s about the feast.

And Jack is hungry.
