October 31st 1998, that Halloween was unlike any other, it was darker, spookier and more mysterious than before. Kallington Mire looked haunted as usual, the moss filled crevices and ancient architecture screamed abandonment all year long… Except one night, the night of Katie Kallington’s Annual Gala.

About Year of the Novella program: Over the course of 2018, a select group of young writers was invited to take part in a year-long writing program at the Story Factory. Their goal was to produce not just a fistful of poems, or a story, or a script, but a fully realised novella. The volunteers working with our budding novelists were there not so much as tutors but as mentors and peers, offering help and support while writing a novella of their own. This is one of the novellas produced in these workshops.
