It may look like a perfectly ordinary New England town, a little larger than most. But Raine's Landing, Massachusetts, holds some very dark secrets.
The real witches of Salem fled here just before the Trials of 1692, and the place has been full of occult magic -- the good and the bad kind -- ever since. And a curse hangs over the whole population ... there are so many people because nobody born here can ever leave.
It's late December now. People are getting ready for the holidays, scarcely guessing what horrors are coming their way next. Because a psychic beggar girl in the town's Victorian past has gotten hold of a magical jewel that massively expands her paranormal powers -- she has reached out with her mind through time itself, making contact with Raine's Landing in the present day.
The only problem is, she's warped the fabric of reality by doing that. Rows of houses begin vanishing, with their occupants still inside. Bizarre creatures, some of them extremely dangerous, start to roam the streets.
And if ex-cop Ross Devries, his Harley-riding sidekick Cassie, and their magically-empowered friend Doc Lehman Willets are going to stop their hometown from disappearing altogether, then they're going to need an awful lot of help.

"Will keep you on the edge of your seat. A definite must read for those into urban fantasy, paranormal fiction, or just a good book" - SF Revu.
