The Grinner | A Halloween Candy Dare at an Abandoned Funeral Home

A take-one candy rule becomes a challenge in “The Grinner” by Henrique Couto. Ten-year-old Robin wants to be Halloween’s undisputed champion, and the rotting scarecrow outside McClellan Hall offers the perfect test of nerve. His friend Michael knows the old funeral home’s legend and would rather leave the bowl alone. Robin has other plans. This Halloween horror story captures the thrill of childhood dares, the lure of a forbidden landmark and the moment a decoration becomes much too interesting. How much candy is worth finding out whether the warning is real?
