Every Day is Halloween

Amidst rumours of costumed people being attacked by the Dead, high school junior Esther worries she may never feel safe again. She’s gotten comfortable wearing her skull mask and black robe, even though she feels herself fading away at the edges.

Without a costume, how can she appease Mishu, a black cat who patrols her street? Or walk safely to school, side-by-side with ghosts from eras past? Then there are the skeletal ghoul soldiers near the local cemetery who love to torment passers-by.

When Esther’s bestie mysteriously disappears, she still can’t ditch her costume. Dressed as Death, will she find out what happened to her friend? 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.

The Last Rites Edition of Every Day is Halloween, was designed as a print edition with expanded text and and a few full-colour  illustrations. Due to file size limitations, the ebook edition does not contain all the images found in the print edition.
