Pumpkin Seeds

By: Tyler Downs

Narrated by: Derek Austin

Edward Crane is a private detective who died eleven years ago. But once a year, with the help of his loyal sidekick Sam, Ed’s rotting corpse is reanimated for the last week of October to solve his town’s most devious cases before returning to the grave. This year, as the pair navigates the supernatural underbelly of Salem in hopes of solving a grisly ritualistic murder, Ed and Sam are forced to rely on the haunting visions of a body-swapping ghost living inside Ed's head for clues to help set things right.

Original

So, I’d like to start with that I liked the book a decent amount. I thought it had a lot of original stuff and I definitely feel like a second book would be good and that he has a decent amount of stuff going for it. I would recommend and hope that he writes more.

I absolutely loved this book!!

A perfect narration and an absolutely wonderful detective horror story! I was hooked from the beginning all the way to the end. This will have you feeling so many emotions🖤

Unexpected and amazing

This is not typically my niche of novel. The story and the performance were executed wonderfully!

Spookshow baby!

Pumpkin Seeds is an intriguing tale shrouded in mystery, darkness, and nostalgia. By the time I found my footing in the author's unique and charming world, the dial is unapologetically cranked and I found myself invested and longing for more. With Down's fantastic writing and Austin's talented voice acting, this audiobook brings Halloween to life in a vivid experience you can enjoy no matter the season.
