Just in time for Samhain/Halloween, I bring you a trad-pubbed urban fantasy whose main character is named Samhain.Samhain is Sam LeCroix, a former short-order cook and son of a local witch, who has only just recently realized he's a powerful necromancer. He's dispatched his hometown's former head ne...
