Where

A spooky, unsettling speculative fiction in which everyone in a contemporary coastal town in the South disappears, taken to another time and place

In a coastal town on the Outer Carolina Banks, David Ribault and Merrill Poulnot are trying to revive their stale relationship and commit to marriage, but a slick developer claiming to be related to a historic town hero, Rawson Steele, has come to town and is buying up property. Steele makes a romantic advance on Merrill and an unusual 5AM appointment outside of town with David. But Rawson is a no-show and at the time of the appointment everyone in the town disappears, removed entirely from our space and time to a featureless isolated village — including Merrill and her young son. David searches desperately but all seems lost. And Rawson is with the villagers in the other place.
