Time for my annual pitch for
The Hallowed Hunt as a suitably spooky autumn-themed read...

Unlike the protagonists of the other two books in the Chalion trio (to which this is NOT a sequel -- it takes place a couple of centuries earlier in another country) grumpy main character Ingrey kin Wolfcliff does not become a five-gods-style saint in the course of his adventures, but rather, a [spoiler], if only for one harrowing night. Very different job description.
Some of its matters do reconnect with Penric & Desdemona in "Penric and the Shaman", if one wants some worldbuilding cross-illumination.
https://www.amazon.com/Hallowed-Hunt-... among other sources. Also in audio wherever Blackstone markets.
Happy Halloween reading!
Ta, L.
(I tried to mask a spoiler, above, as per the Goodreads formatting tips <spoiler> word </spoiler> but according to the Preview function it just appeared as plain text anyway. If anyone knows the trick of this, shout out in the comments.)
