Halloween is a wild, weird night in the lonely moorland towns of the north. It’s dark and cold, and cracks can open up in the fabric of the safest world.
Davey Bell has been trying to live safely. He’s struggled through a rough adolescence and has a decent job, a home of his own. He agrees to a meeting with his ex, even though Burdo got him into so much trouble in the past.
But Burdo has plans, armed robbery amongst them. When Davey recoils from his efforts at blackmail, Burdo swears he’ll track him down. There’s something inhuman about Burdo’s rage, and Davey panics and runs from him. The town is small, the darkness beyond it absolute. Davey has lived there all his life, but he takes a wrong turn on the moorland road and is suddenly lost.
It’s the first night of winter, and set to freeze hard. Not much chance of survival for a man without shelter, a man on the run from his past… Then Davey stumbles into the forest, and his fears of Burdo and the cold dissolve to nothing at the sound of deep, bestial growls.
The moon is full. Ancient moorland legends are coming to life in its silvery radiance. Out of the woodland steps a strange young man, and the snarling beasts fall back. He’s offering sanctuary, but at what price? He’s the most beautiful creature Davey has ever seen. If Davey follows him in fascination through the gateway of Wolf Hall, what secrets will unfold before the dawn?

Four stars
I suppose one could say that not everything Harper Fox writes is as good as everything else she writes.
But I’ve never read anything by her that I didn’t like. The worst of her writing is better than most of what’s out there.
This short Hallowe’en novella (or long Hallowe’en story) is just the sort of thing that proves to me Ms. Fox’s skill as a writer and as a storyteller. While I often find novellas and stories frustrating because there’s just not enough in them, I find that Fox manages to create short works that are satisfying and fully formed.
“Wolf Hall” is a perfect, shivery Hallowe’en treat. A rich chocolate truffle of a story, in which the humans are monsters and the monsters are human. As usual, Fox draws us in with mortal frailty, with unhealed wounds. David Bell is the unlucky victim who blindly stumbles into the lair of something unearthly and unknown—only to discover that what he’s found is better than anything he’s known before.
Fox also doesn’t belabor things or attempt to over-explain. By avoiding such heavy-handedness, the reader is forced to actually fill in gaps with his own prior knowledge of the more and manners of paranormal fiction. This is what I call subtlety, and it is surprisingly gratifying to read something that flatters your intelligence.
And, of course, Fox is always intensely romantic without being soppy. I never think of Hallowe’en as a romantic event. It is more about a celebration of the dark side of humanity, about the thin line between good and evil. But Fox contorts that premise, making it more about the line between known and unknown, and about the possible joy of embracing that unknown rather than fearing it.
I’d love to see a novel-length treatment of “Wolf Hall,” but only because the characters are so interesting for the brief time we see them that I would love to get to know them better.

Wolf Hall edition by Harper Fox Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Found and bought this "Wolf Hall" by accident As this is a story about young gay love (and I'm not male) I thought I'd be bored and unimpresssed. However, it was an intriguing tale with equal parts fantasy, love and lust. A ripper of a read.
Very hard to pull off a satisfying fairytale romance, but Harper does it handily. I almost skipped this because it's short; don't make that mistake.
Ok and here you have a WRITTER beyond compare, here's a women who is a writer, a poet and a weaver of sheer magic with the written word. So mannnnnnnny thanks for another GREAT ONE.
Lovely, romantic short.
Do I wish it was longer? Yeah, totally. That said, the story was lovely, lyrical and I very much enjoyed reading it.
Can a mishap of youth and reckless company forever prevent David from finding a man to complete the puzzle which is his young life?
A thug holds Davey in his strangling grasp, demanding he join him in a Halloween armed robbery. Resistance results in a beating and a terror filled flight into Wolf Hall. Fog shrouded mists and frightening unseen forces bring an exhausted David to the door of the man who needs David to complete his paranormal transition.
God, Harper Fox has such extraordinary gorgeous characters and the brilliance of her storytelling is unsurpassed! And the crazy whirlwind of Wolf Hall is no different. The past catches up to David Bell but he gets a do-over in the form of the youngest member of Wolf Hall, Lowrie Devlin. As David finds redemption in Lowrie, Lowrie finds home with David. Loved every word and nuance of this sweet bit of storytelling. I just wished it was longer.
If this had been any other author, I would probably give this 5 stars. But I have read all of Harper Fox's other works and I know that she can do better! This Hallowe’en story just felt a bit too rushed to me. Davey and Lowrie's connection happened too instantaneously and it would have been great to have a little more drama between him and Burdo to contrast with his connection to Lowrie. Davey was an interesting character and I would have loved more flashbacks to his adolescence to see how he managed to pull himself out of poverty. Bottom line I wish this had been twice as long!
