A novel by

 
 
Escardy Gap is a small town in the American midwest. When a train pulls in one day and Jeremiah Rackstraw and The Company alight from it, the townsfolk - brilliantly drawn and differentiated by the authors - have little idea what to expect. But one thing soon becomes clear: their lives will never be the same again. Only two people -- a young boy and the town Mayor -- understand the true nature of the "show" that has arrived in their midst. They alone can save Escardy Gap from the destructive forces of evil. Together they set out to find help, which comes from a totally unexpected source...

A must for all readers of Clive Barker, Stephen King and Ray Bradbury, Escardy Gap moves as fast and unstoppably as the train which delivers the town's doom. The authors have woven a tale of dark fantasy which will haunt your dreams -- by night and day.
