Shadows walk in the autumn mist. It's the Fall of 1994 in the small milltown of Belford, New York. The leaves are turning, the kids are going back to school, and the heat of Summer is giving way to a cool, misty season. It happens every Fall. Only this Fall, people are disappearing into that mist. Some people are found torn apart, some people are found dead for no reason, and some people aren't found at all. Other people see strange things in the ghosts and campfire stories. There's something out there in that mist. Something old. Something that has slept for a long time, but has now woken up hungry. Maybe the people of Belford could resist it, but as the terrible Fall wears on, more and more of them start...changing. Acting bizarre and violent. In the end, only a small group of teenage defenders are left to make their stand.

People in New York City will tell you that it’s not what you do to pay your bills that defines you. That’s just your day job. It doesn’t matter if you wait tables or drive a bus or work as a stockbroker until you get your Big Break, you’re really an actor, or a singer, or a dancer, or an artist. If that’s true, then I’m a writer and aspiring tabletop rpg designer who lives in New York City with my beloved wife, still working and waiting for my Big Break. I’m a movie buff and a horror hound. My favorite season is Fall, which has somehow become a time of renewal to me. My music of choice is epic rock, and I love walking my city and finding all of its hidden wonders; I have a special love for Coney Island. Most of all, I love the stories. I’ve loved the stories since I was a very small child, begging my parents to read me another book. The stories have been my friends at times when I didn’t seem to have any others.
