In 1986 Halloween in Science Hill, Kentucky, is like a holiday for the residents. There's a town parade, trick-or-treating, lots of mischief, and plenty of parties. It's all fun and games until dark forces are tempted and eternal consequences are invoked.
Even though Jeff Young just found out that his girlfriend is pregnant, he intends to let off some steam and have some fun with his friends. After all, it is Halloween. There are pranks to pull and trouble to avoid, but in the end he and his friends can't avoid the lure of Witch's Cave, a place that legend says will grant them the one desire of their heart. But it's those desires that begin a chain events that lead to death and destruction.
A Dirge for the Malice Series follows Jeff and his friends through the trials and tribulations of a curse that's been placed upon them.
