Rediscover Halloween as a celebration rooted in faith and spiritual hope with All Hallows’ Eve, the newest children’s release from bestselling author Anthony DeStefano. 

In this gripping yet gentle story, a group of friends crosses paths on Halloween night with Hulga May—a mysterious woman kneeling in prayer amid headstones. As she shares her haunting tale, readers are drawn into a reflection on the power of prayer, the reality of Purgatory, and the Communion of Saints.

With suspense that delights and a surprise twist that warms, DeStefano transforms an often secular holiday into a season rich with Catholic tradition. Drawing from the sacred trio of days—All Hallows’ Eve, All Saints’, and All Souls’—the story brings deep lessons of mercy, conversion, and intercession into an accessible, softly eerie, and ultimately hopeful narrative.

Richly illustrated & engaging, All Hallows’ Eve is perfect for read-aloud moments around Halloween, for parish family events, or for Catholic school celebrations. 

It’s a timeless reminder that every soul deserves prayer, every prayer matters, and even spooky nights can lead to encounters with divine mercy.
