The Burning Boy & Other Stories

“A funnel of thick, black smoke rose from his body, billowing through the trees, another chimney expelling its fumes into the bitter night. The heat of the fire melted a perfect circle in the snow around him. His eyes radiated white-hot light, and they were looking straight at me.”After a tragic accident on Guy Fawkes Night, three teens are haunted by a spectral figure burning for revenge.
