    About this ebook

    Welcome to Heavenly Hill Hollow.. a small town tucked away in the backwoods of rural America, slightly off the grid of the mainstream hustle and bustle. A town where imagination and magic still flourish. The town has an eclectic mix of townsfolk and families which have seen more than their share of strange, un-explainable goings-on in their little village through the years. But, tonight is Halloween ... the Halloween of prophesies old, and while children head out trick or treating, an evil like no other closes in on the town. So grab your costume, let loose your inner child, and arm your imagination as this story invites you on a journey into the dark streets of Halloween and an adventure in Heavenly Hill Hollow like no other.

    Author

    Winders Templing

    Author Winders Templing is the last surviving heir of the Templing family which settled in Heavenly Hill Hollow during the time of it's founding in 1636. Winders has followed in his family's footsteps writing the strange history of this little village as it unfolded around him, and would now like to share these stories with the world. Winders, a self described recluse, sees this as his chance to break the bonds of his shy, reclusive life and bring the stories his family has guarded for so many years of the town they have loved so dearly to the outside world. In doing so he hopes the world, both children and adults alike will find and enjoy the magic that he knows as his home in Heavenly Hill Hollow. Raised in a small New England town, Russ Trudel the co-author/illustrator spent many days playing in the woods surrounding his rural home and cultivating a creative imagination as a child. Years later after spending time in the Marine Corps,and travelling the author came home to the area of his birth and settled down with his wife Janet and rescue dog Gunny, to pursue his love of writing and illustrating. During his travels he came across Heavenly Hill Hollow where he met and befriended Winders Templing and through the same love of small town and great story-telling has collaborated and worked with Winders to bring these stories to the world.

      Chapter One:

      Trickster Treats

      As the sun sank down behind the trees

      With their red, their orange and their yellow leaves

      And match and flame lit hollow spaces,

      Giving life to grinning faces,

      Pumpkins as orange as dungeon torches,

      Decorating steps and house front porches,

      With this night came Halloween,

      Such as the world has never seen,

      The one which prophecies have said,

      Would raise all evils from the dead!

      As children marched into the streets,

      Hidden by masks and ghostly sheets,

      No one knew that across this town,

      Supposedly covered by hallowed ground,

      The souls of those once dead and gone,

      Began to break through graveyard lawn,

      And from dark shadows everywhere,

      Climbed dark ghouls with but one care,

      To walk this night and spread their fear,

      With cold white bones and deathly cheer.

      A group of friends just 12 years old,

      Not knowing what the night did hold,

      Met at the dead-end of their street,

      To begin a night of trick-or-treat,

      Armed with rolls of toilet papers,

      Candy sacks and tricksters capers,

      And dressed in costume one and all,

      They shuffled through the leaves of Fall.

      A soldier led the pack of three,

      Wise and strong his name was Lee,

      Next to him his buddy Red,

      Dressed quite scary, the walking dead.

      Last in line, but not least,

      Stood the group's cat like beast,

      Her name was June like the month you see,

      Though born the day of the Christmas tree.

      Red asked where they'd start the day,

      And Lee said he would lead the way,

      June then took them by the hand,

      And the way they skipped through darkened land.

      Down the street and across the town,

      Under full moon rays shining down,

      Streetlamps
