Aprašymas

Olyoke, Tennessee is home to a Dollywood-like theme park, generations of troubled families, and the warnings of a dead architect turned conscripted prophet, who writes of a coming cataclysm.

As the fire nears, DARCY, a Dolly Parton impersonator, finds strange worms in the swamp and feeds them to her dog, who then speaks with the voice of her dead mother. Recently divorced LYLE KNOX is called through its dreams by a strange house, and through its investigation, discovers that Lyle Knox itself is not a person, but a structure. MAGGIE WARNER organizes a theater production to stave off her gnawing misery and becomes convinced that only the people she sees in her dreams are real. Moreover, the Whistler-the man Maggie becomes when she sleeps-welcomes the town's impending Judgment with open arms.

All destinies converge in Olyoke.

None will escape unchanged.

"Steeped in the dark strangeness and wry dread of a classic Vertigo comic. An intriguing mosaic."

• Hailey Piper, A Light Most Hateful

"As interesting and complex as you'd find in anything by Lynch or Ligotti."

• Briar Ripley Page, Lupus in Fabula

"Absurdist, entirely of this moment and completely off the rails."

• Bitter Karella, Moonflow

"Lures you into the crevice between Weird fiction and Appalachian horror where something inscrutable yet warm has been gestating. You will come back different."

• Michael Wehunt, author, The October Film Haunt
