Description

Overcoming Fear and Greed with Love in At the Sign of the Jack O’Lantern



When two newlyweds receive news of an inheritance that a recently passed uncle leaves them, their first reaction is one of joy and gratitude. But what happens when the newly inherited home turns out to be much stranger than you first could even have imagined?

At the Sign of the Jack O’Lantern is a humorous haunting novel, penned by Myrtle Reed, that will thrill as much as inspire you, while being known to offer most readers a truly enjoyable time. Written in the early 20th century, it follows the pursuits of Harlan and Dorothy Carr, newlyweds, inheriting an impressive, large and quite scary country home from Dorothy’s Uncle Ebeneezer.

What would normally seem like a fortunate and exciting life event soon turns out to be much more than the young couple had bargained for. Aside from opportunistic relatives and a beautiful young woman showing up at the door and increasing the tension between the two, the house itself seems to still be filled with the presence of Uncle Ebeneezer, bringing about some of the eeriest and most unusual challenges that Dorothy and Harlan need to overcome together.

At the Sign of the Jack O’Lantern is one of the most significant novels written about the undying lesson of how pure love can overcome any kind of difficulty in the end. You will find it to be not only an enjoyable and fulfilling read, but also a book that will make you think about deeper values and how they may relate to what we’d normally call “common” events of day-to-day life.

An exciting mix of mystery, humor and bold comments addressed at social situations that are a striking reflection of the contemporary social values of the time, the novel will undoubtedly bring you a few good laughs, while offering a genuine glimpse at life at the turn of the 20th century.
