When her friends go missing, Brittani enlists the help of four others to find them. When they arrive in the abandoned town - her friends' last known whereabouts - they're trapped in a game of life or death. With a race against time, and the Hangman ready to claim them one-by-one, the group follows the clues to solve an old mystery and hopefully rescue Brittani's friends. But as the rules state, one wrong move will lead to death. When Halloween approaches, who, if any, will be left standing? *This story was originally featured in the 'What Lies Beyond the Shadows' Halloween 2018 anthology that was published for a limited time.
