I hear the little thumps on my door. I even know who it is. It's you. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou've returned for more dark tales. I warned you my stories would forever become a part of you. You didn't heed. You're changed because of them, aren't you? You're addicted now, aren't you? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI confess, you are more resilient than most. Every Halloween you return for more spooky stories. And I always deliver, don't I? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn this night, once a year, you set out alone on a trek through this dense and dark forest, finding your way to my mansion few know exists. And you stand outside my door in the night wind, sometimes with a moon shining brightly in the sky and sometimes in complete darkness. This year, the moon is hidden and it is especially dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEventually, you bolster the courage to knock. First, a few soft thumps and then when I don't answer the door, you go into a frenzy, pounding and scratching, knowing you can't go back home until you've connected to the dark side. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe no longer even greet one another. The door opens and you know your way to the Pumpkin Room. Yes, the orange room. Everything looks like the inside of a pumpkin, including thousands of pumpkin seeds lining the walls. But you already know these aren't ordinary pumpkin seeds. Inside each seed contains a story, told to me by ghosts and spirits, written on parchment by yours truly. Word for word.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI am the Seed Reader, the harvester of spooky stories. I communicate with those from the world beyond this one. Sometimes the living send them to me. I collect the good ones. Then, I read them to you. But I always let you choose which seed to open. Or else I wouldn't be a very good host now, would I?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe door to the Pumpkin Room will be closing in a moment. Which pumpkin seeds are calling to you tonight? Which shall we open first?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd you said you'd never return. . .\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46384133537943,"sku":"9798986307244","price":1237.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798986307244.webp?v=1768781976","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/all-pumpkins-eve-9798986307244","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
