From award-nominated writer John Langan comes a collection of uneasy
meetings.
A frustrated professor and his graduate student assistant accompany a group
of soldiers to a remote Scottish island to learn what is buried there. A man
plays an audiotape left for him by his late father and is initiated into a
family story of monstrous deeds. A student learns frightening lessons in a
surreal tutoring center. A young couple struggles to make their stand against a
group of inhuman pursuers in a ravaged landscape. And, in a new story, an artist
discovers a mysterious statue whose completion becomes his obsession.
