To most people, October 31 means Halloween. To Samantha Genetti, it’s her birthday. The protagonist of Halloween Party is turning seventeen soon, and her friends are throwing a masquerade to celebrate the occasion. In the meantime, Samantha quietly lives in fear after receiving a series of threatening notes from an unknown sender. Something dangerous awaits Samantha on her birthday, and if she’s not careful, she may not live to see her next one.
From the looks of the cover art and the sound of the blurb, Halloween Party is a teenage whodunit or slasher. To tell the truth, Wendy Corsi Staub’s 1994 book is not quite either of those things. There is definitely a mysterious person stalking the main character, but their method of torture is, for the most part, psychological. And for longer than she realizes, Samantha is toyed with and made to feel alone until the perpetrator moves in for the kill.
