THINGS THAT GO DEAD IN THE NIGHT

Former FBI agent Gregor Demarkian has been invited to speak at a small liberal arts college, his lecture on murder having been scheduled for Halloween night. But someone on camput has already taken the course, and is now doing graduate work in the school cafeteria...where household lye is the soup dujour.

DEVIOUS TRICKS, DEALDY TREATS, AND THE RICTUS MASK OF THE MURDER...HALLOWEEN HORROR IN THE GROVES OF ACADEME!

Throw in missing professor whom everyone hates, a raven that sings for its supper, make-believe ghouls, real-life withches, and an annual bonfire of morbid proportions, and Gregor has enough course work in Advanced Homicide 101 to fill up several Halloweens. The final exam will be pass-fail...with Death giving out the final grade.
