Synopses & Reviews
Jeffrey E. Barlough, acclaimed author of the weird and wonderful
Dark Sleeper, returns with a novel as charming-and chilling-as a good old-fashioned ghost story...
Strange things are afoot in the town of Shilston Upcot. A mysterious owl hovers in the sky. Mournful voices cry out for a lost child. Townsfolk are besieged by nightmares. And only one man, the reclusive squire Mark Trench, dares to investigate the strange omens to face the truth: The horror has returned.
