About the Book

Introduction by Rick Hautala. Art by Glenn Chadborne.

It’s just a book that the folks of the small town of Magellan Bend recall reading. A little gruesome, perhaps... and, in more than one instance, not the reader’s usual fare. But it’s just a book. Nothing more.

But when the town’s resident sleeper awakes from an eight-year nap, his memories are much more than mere words and phrases in a cheap and gaudy horror novel. And as he becomes more and more aware of the shocking truth, the knowledge spreads like graveyard mist sending a clarion call far and wide... but not only to the townsfolk. No, indeed. There are other things out there, things that ride the night winds on All Hallows Eve,.. and they know a lot more about the events recorded in the fabled By Wizard Oak And Fairy Stream.

Clearly, there is unfinished business in Magellan Bend this October and, as the night turns smoky and the world settles down for the onset of winter, the visitors arrive. Again.

And no, it’s not just a book.

No way.
