Midnight Mow. This Fist, #1

Gabe Gomez seeks neither tricks nor treats this Halloween but bloody battle. Middle school opens up a whole new world for kids, and for Gabe it's a world where ghostly monsters from another dimension are trying to invade by possessing leaves and pumpkins in the middle of the night and they just have to be stopped even if the only means of resistance is a bat or tool from Dad's garage. For a good chunk of these kids, beating the hell out of monsters with improvised weapons is a dream come true but unfortunately the fate of the world depends on them and those kids were always totally nuts.
Matthew Atkinson opens his SHORT STORY collection, This Fist, with "Midnight Mow." No adults are allowed to the bloodbath in this story right out of an adolescent's deranged doodle which takes "pulp" literally.
