Johnny Mac shares five good news Halloween stories: Costco is selling a 5.5-pound Belgian chocolate Frankenstein head that comes with a wooden mallet and contains a pound of body-part-shaped gummy candies for $55, though it’s sold out and being resold for up to $100. Lego released a 323-piece Halloween Pumpkin Lantern set that lights up when the stem is pressed and includes a spider and glow-in-the-dark ghost for about $30. In Philadelphia, Newsroom Philly becomes the Pumpkin Press, a Poe and Headless Horseman-inspired pop-up with themed decor and cocktails like the Headless Horseman, Moon Over Sleepy Hollow, and a Raven’s Cauldron for groups. Starbucks adds a caffeine-free Black Cat Frappuccino on Oct. 22, a Black Knight Cookie, and Halloween merch. Shock Top and Spirit Halloween created Candy Corn Wheat, a limited-edition 5% wheat ale with mixed reactions.

The steps grow. Nobody tells you that at the start. The fear learns the gaps you leave, and every gap you close becomes a new step.

There was a stretch of her life, not long ago, when the fear came and would not leave. She was not a foolish woman. She ran a full, loud household; she was the one other people leaned on. Then something ended, and into the space it left, the fear came — a certainty, every night, that something was testing the edges of the house, looking for the way in.She checked the locks a hundred times a night. It didn't help, because she did it frightened and at random.Then she found the steps. The same doors, in the same order, a hand flat on each one, the name said out loud. And for the first time in months, the fear stopped.It came back, of course. A little bigger each time. And each time she did the steps, the relief was a little sweeter.Part 1 of 4.

She promised, at the very start, to tell you how to stay alive. She kept every other promise. She told you she survived. She told you she'd give you the rule. She told you what it costs and what she had to refuse and what happened to the man three houses down.She has one thing left to tell you, and she has been building toward it for four nights. Listen the way she asked you to. The finale of The Listener. Part 4 of 4.
