When Halloween and Christmas overlap in the enchanted town of Everwick, the holiday magic fractures. Seventeen-year-old Clara Holloway watches pumpkins burn with chilled blue fire and hears the town's lanterns whisper of a battle between two ancient kings. The Pumpkin King demands the night; Father Christmas claims the dawn. As toys turn on their owners and the town's great tree twists into something hungry, Clara discovers an old pact — and a choice only she can make. Equal parts eerie and heartwarming, The Night Christmas Met Halloween is a darkly whimsical urban fantasy that asks whether fear or joy should rule — and whether a single brave heart can bring balance. Perfect for fans of The Nightmare Before Christmas, gothic holiday tales, and seasonal YA/adult fantasy crossover.
