Description

Ever since my love Jack Skellington stumbled upon a grove of mysterious trees that lead to other realms, we’ve kept exploring, and we can’t wait to share our findings with you.

Within, you’ll find everything you need to know before you embark on a splendid adventure—whether that’s a hauntingly good time in Halloween Town, a delightful romp in another holiday town, or a magical journey through the realms beyond.

I know new places and faces can seem scary, but take it from me: anyone from a monster to a dragon can become a new friend! And because I’m a skilled potion maker, I also included a guide to brews you simply must familiarise yourself with before you head out.

No matter what corner of the Hinterlands you decide to visit, I’m confident you can make your dreams (or if you prefer, nightmares!) a reality.

This 216-page guidebook is a companion to the best-selling Pumpkin Queen series that leads you through Sally's wonderful world.

The Nightmare Before Christmas: Sally's Journal is an essential addition to any adventurer's library.
