Woodbine, Colorado. A tiny mountain town nestled in the rolling foothills of the Rockies. An idyllic escape for Paul Landon and his beautiful wife, Molly. A place where maybe the demons that have plagued his every step, and every published word, won’t be nipping at his heels any longer. In an attempt to put it all behind him, Paul has started writing the first startling pages of something with far fewer ties to reality. Something much, much darker than the neo-noir world of his fictional antihero Alex Grey. But the new novel he throws himself into - the one his agent refers to as his 'Beastie Book' - has grown legs of its own. And suddenly the horrifying things that begin to happen around the small mountain town lead the young author to question not only the nature of reality, but the solution to a nightmarish catch-22.
