Haunted, Hounded, and Slightly On Fire: BOOK TEN (Turn Four After Dark 10)

TURN FOUR AFTER DARK: Haunted, Hounded, and Slightly On Fire

A Humorous Supernatural Series – Book Ten

Nothing at Fox Run Speedway starts with a warning.
Some nights begin with noise. Others begin with fog.
This one begins with sparks—right after sunset—and absolutely refuses to behave.

Fire breaks out where it shouldn’t. Sirens arrive loudly and accomplish very little. Fog rolls in without permission and refuses to lift. Pit Road, already opinionated, stops cooperating entirely. And the ghosts—never known for restraint—decide this is the perfect time to provide running commentary.

By midnight, authority has collapsed publicly, systems have failed in sequence, and nothing agrees to work the way it should. The Critter Council withdraws without explanation. The track stops tolerating instructions. And what breaks this night does not recover cleanly.

This is the book where damage stops resetting.

Haunted, Hounded, and Slightly On Fire marks a turning point in the Turn Four After Dark series. Up to now, chaos could still be managed, explained, or patched together by morning. In Book Ten, that illusion disappears. Consequences linger. Cooperation becomes conditional. Silence carries more weight than shouting.

Comedy still rules—but it’s sharpened here. The humor doesn’t erase danger; it exposes confidence, misplaced authority, and plans unraveling in public. Fear never dominates, because it’s constantly undercut by commentary, bad timing, and the track’s growing refusal to care who’s in charge.

Fox Run Speedway has always been aware.
Now it’s selective.
