Description: JESSICA SLOAN RETURNS IN AN ALL-NEW INSTALLMENT IN THE DEPRAVED SERIES BY BRYAN SMITH.
It's time to go back to the backwoods with Jessica Sloan. After lying low for years, a stirring of wanderlust compels the former professional assassin to hit the road. On the day before Halloween, she starts driving south with no particular destination in mind. Low on gas, she stops in Montclair, a small town deep in the heart of rural Alabama that conjures uncomfortable memories of Hopkins Bend, the depraved backwater burg where her life changed forever years ago. At first Jessica chalks these feelings up to paranoia, but before long it becomes clear that all her worst fears are justified. The deranged denizens of Montclair are, if anything, even more sick and twisted than all her previous adversaries. The dead will rise. Copious quantities of blood will be spilled. Minds and . . . things . . . will be altered. Because in Montclair, especially on Halloween, depravity is a way of life. DEPRAVED HALLOWEEN functions as a direct "sequel in spirit" to the original book in the series. Though it isn't a reboot that negates previous sequels, it is not necessary to have read those sequels to enjoy Jessica's latest adventure.
