Once upon a Halloween, the Dead came to stay,
forcing the Living to wear costumes.
Every. Single. Day.

Mask up... or risk being seen.

Fifteen-year-old Esther is comfortably hiding behind her skull mask and black robe, even though her friends are fed up with all the ghouls and ghosts telling them how to live. When her best friend vanishes, Esther still clings to her costume. Dressed as Death, will she uncover what happened to her bestie? And will she ever find the courage to step out of her comfort zone before fading into a mere shadow of herself?

Everyday is Halloween is a dark, eerie, quirky modern tale with moments of gruesomeness. Blending body horror with emotional and psychological depth, this paranormal story is told through traditional and epistolary storytelling (newspaper articles, emails, podcast transcripts, even a comic strip). Kit Daven's lyrical yet visceral prose creates an unsettling world where the line between life and death blurs.
