Theme: The Best of Times, the Worst of Times
“We have a town transformed by an all-too-intimate type of communion, an alien in need of a plan, a rite of passage that works both ways, a man with forces for allies, two boys gone too far, a prince of dreadful magick, a man whose identity is a killer to others, and a mother’s everlasting love. Not to mention radical women, black cats, suicides and survivors, and diseases of body and mind.”
