Book description
Long Live the Pumpkin Queen: A Delightfully Dark Companion
If you've ever wondered what happens after "The Nightmare Before Christmas" ends, Shea Ernshaw's Long Live the Pumpkin Queen gives you a satisfying answer-while adding her own swooping touch of dark romance and intrigue. The Barnes & Noble exclusive edition is a visual treat, too: its uniquely colored cover with stenciled edges feels like a direct invitation to slip back into Halloween Town.
Ernshaw takes us straight into Sally's world as she steps onto the throne as Pumpkin Queen. Her love for Jack Skellington is palpable-she's woven that devotion into every seam of her rag-doll self. Yet Ernshaw cleverly flips the script by making the role feel less like a dream and more like a gilded cage. The queen's duties pull her in one direction, while her curiosity about the world beyond the holiday doors pulls her another.
The discovery of Dream Town is where the story truly shines. It's a place that feels both eerily familiar and wildly alien-a perfect playground for Ernshaw to weave suspense into Sally's journey. With each step she takes deeper into the hidden realm, the stakes climb: the future of Halloween Town hangs in balance, and Sally must decide whether her heart can still beat for Jack or if it is time to carve out a new destiny.
What makes this novel especially compelling is its blend of romance and peril. It's not just another "what if" scenario; it feels like an original chapter that could have been part of the film itself. The pacing keeps you hooked, with enough twists to keep the tension high but never so many that the story loses focus.
Ernshaw also does a masterful job of expanding the world without losing the quirky charm that fans love. You'll see familiar faces in new light, and the atmosphere retains that gothic whimsy while adding fresh layers of depth.
For anyone who fell under the spell of Tim Burton's classic film, Long Live the Pumpkin Queen is an essential companion. It invites you to re-experience Halloween Town through Sally's eyes, with a narrative that feels both familiar and brand new. If you're ready for a darkly romantic adventure that tests love, loyalty, and identity, this book will not disappoint-just as Jack and Sally's story has never failed to enchant.
