Dr. Haverill is asked to fill in as local physician for the skittish Dr. Lennox in a small Pennsylvania town.

As the bodies begin to pile up, Dr. Haverill starts to question whether the responsible party could be something beyond humanity.Writer Margery Williams Bianco (writing here under the pseudonym Harper Williams) is perhaps better known for writing the children's classic "The Velveteen Rabbit", but this dark slice of mystery horror fiction was found to be admired by none other than H. P. Lovecraft. Lovecraft scholars have noted in particular a distinct influence that this book had on his famous story "The Dunwich Horror".Also please note that this book is of its time and features racially insensitive language in the early chapters.
