Novelist
Halloween, 2001. Will Andrews is found in the hallway of Savage Creek High School, shot in the head, pistol in hand. Beside him is a dead man with a bomb strapped to his chest. Two of Will's best friends are dead. Two more are wounded. When Will wakes from his coma three days later, he has no memory of what happened, but the local papers are already calling him a hero.
Now, five years later, Will is in Hell. At night, he holds his girlfriend, Jennifer, close, while in his sleep he journeys deeper and deeper into a nightmarish dreamscape. During the day, his therapist urges him to finally look into the shooting, suggesting that these nightmares may be one part of himself desperately trying to communicate with the other.
But the deeper Will digs, the further the lines between reality and fiction are blurred, and he finds himself in a place where nightmare bleeds into memory, the spiritual leaks into the physical, and the world as he knows it threatens dissolving entirely.
Both beautiful and deeply harrowing, Hallowtide combines Jungian theory with echoes of classic descent narratives, deconstructing western philosophy, depression, and religion, while following one young man's fall into Stygian wasteland and the journey that will change him forever.

Available for the first time, world-wide, is the special hard cover edition of Hallowtide. Coming in at 550 pages, this edition is beautiful, bright, and finally displays Karl Pfeiffer's breakthrough first novel the way it was meant to from the beginning.
This edition includes a twenty-page excerpt from the never-before-seen screenplay that Karl wrote in the months following the publication of Hallowtide, in hopes that one day, someone may come looking for it. Until then, he's published a taste of what such a movie would have in store for you as a teaser for a day that may never come.
