Bone Jack

Ash has been declared winner and will be this year's Stag Boy. The Stag Chase is a race steeped in tradition...an annual race where one boy is the “sacrificial” stag and all the other boys are the hounds...hunting for “blood”.

While this may be just a race in modern times...ancient races were much darker and at the end there was no winner...just the promise of blood spilled.

When strange visions and events begin happening around Ash and this year's race, Ash begins to wonder if there is more to the legends than he was led to believe.

What a wonderful, haunting story. The writing flows well and had me flying through the pages. I love dark folklore and really enjoyed the mix of modern with the old. This made for a fun ghost story and a great Spooktober read. Would definitely recommend this one.
