Meet Chris Baker, the new sheriff of the quiet Adirondack town of Clifton Heights. As one inexplicable case after another forces him to confront the townsfolk in The Skylark Diner, it's the furtive Gavin Patchett that hands Chris a collection of not-so-fictional short stories that tumbles him into a world of sliding monsters, ageless demons and vengeful citizens.

As Chris reads through the stories the veil starts to lift, and he soon questions what is real and what's not, and whether he really wants to know.

Nothing will ever be the same again.
