What is the novel about?
Internet Archive’s catalogue synopsis places the story in Stonehaven, a coastal New England town, and follows Stony Crawford and Lourdes Maria Castillo into an older mystery. That plot description is attributed to one catalogue record. This page introduces the book without reproducing chapters or presenting a game walkthrough as its story.
Editions and page-count disagreements
Catalogue records checked 30 October 2026. Matching ISBNs do not remove the disagreements.

These are catalogue claims, not a physical collation of the books. Open Library and Internet Archive share some imported bibliographic data, so they do not count as independent confirmation of an edition’s physical details. Use the ISBN and the seller or library’s own edition record before borrowing or buying.
Where can I read it legally?
Use the linked book catalogues to locate a library or retailer. Internet Archive marks its scan access-restricted; a catalogue record does not make the text public domain or guarantee lending availability. This site does not host a PDF. The author’s own book page could not be re-read because its connection failed during this review, so no current availability claim relies on it.
Is The Halloween Man a movie?
No confirmed adaptation was found in the public records reviewed on 30 October 2026. An unreadable IMDb entry is insufficient to establish a connection. Treat film results with the same title as separate entities unless a rights holder or reliable publication explicitly links them to Clegg’s novel.
Questions
How many pages is the novel?
The catalogues disagree, including for the same ISBN. Open Library gives the 1998 Leisure edition 360 pages, while Goodreads lists 368. See the source-by-source table instead of one combined figure.
Is there a film adaptation?
No confirmed adaptation was found in the sources reviewed on 30 October 2026. This is a limited search finding, not proof that no same-name film exists.
