You see the glowing faces on every porch. You think you know the tradition. You’re wrong. This is the story told by the man cursed to carry hellfire in a hollowed gourd—the original Jack O'Lantern.
In this Halloween special, The Nocturne Library unseals the personal diary of the eternal wanderer. Presented as a work of literary horror, this is a philosophical and psychological exploration of the myth from the inside. Journey with Jack through the "night of thin walls," as he observes our modern rituals and reflects on the ancient fears we've tried to forget. This is not a simple ghost story. It is a testament on the nature of reality, memory, and the darkness that waits just beyond the veil.
