The story follows a mom whose worst nightmare is re-lived every Halloween, a holiday that fillers her with shame, fear, and regret. I really appreciated how the story centered on how urban legends are created, and the way that they can tunnel and spread like a cancer.<\/p>\n<p>The story highlights the casual cruelty of teens and the horrifying consequences of bullying. <strong>Hannah-Beast<\/strong> is an absolutely perfect story for the Halloween season. It is a thrill ride and I absolutely flew through.<\/p>\n<h2>Quote<\/h2>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;come back, slow down, don&#8217;t leave us, <strong>we love you<\/strong>, Hannah-beast.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n<h2>Content Warnings<\/h2>\n<span class=\"ubb-spoiler\"><a class=\"ubb-view-spoil\">View Spoiler &raquo;<\/a><span style=\"display: none;\" class=\"ubb-thespoil\">Alcoholic Parent, Bullying, Death, Suicide, Violence <a class=\"ubb-hide-spoil\" style=\"cursor: hand; cursor: pointer;\">&laquo; Hide Spoiler<\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<h2>About the Author<\/h2>\n<div class=\"ubb-about-author\">\n<h3>About Jennifer McMahon<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pastelgoth.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/author_jennifermcmahon.png?fit=200%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignleft ubb-about-author-photo\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pastelgoth.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/author_jennifermcmahon.png?w=200&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pastelgoth.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/author_jennifermcmahon.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pastelgoth.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/author_jennifermcmahon.png?resize=75%2C75&amp;ssl=1 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Jennifer McMahon is a novelist who formerly resided in Barre, Vermont and now lives in Montpelier, Vermont.
