Synopsis
When October Williams moved to the small seaside town of New Salem, Maine, he hardly expected to be chased by the ghost of the Headless Paperboy. But New Salem is a town gripped by the supernatural where anything can happen...especially near the old bridge leading to the cemetery!

October soon learns a strange and terrifying tale. Every Halloween three children vanish as the ghost begins searching for his head. Riding a twenty-year-old bicycle and hurling flaming newspapers, the spook needs one more victim before disappearing for another year. If that weren't bad enough, the school bully wants to make sure October doesn't have a chance to escape the pedaling terror!

Together with a band of misfit kids who call themselves the Nightmare Club, a strange girl named Alliecat who wants to shove her way into the group, and a pot-bellied pig named Barnabas, he must find the Paperboy's head and put it back with the body before it's too late and he loses his own!
