Welcome to Anderson. Look around. It won't take you long. The movie theater on Main Street is open evenings and weekends. Old man Tippert won't play any of that R-rated trash, so feel free to bring the kids. Ma's Diner is the only restaurant in town, but it's pretty good if you stay out of reach of the meat loaf. Sheriff's office is down the street, not that you'll ever need it. Yeah, it's quiet here and that's how we like it. Except.... Madge Duffy sliced her huband's throat last week. Thought she killed him, but then John walked out of the morgue none the worse for wear. There's a bullet hole in Deputy Haws' shirt that he can't explain. And that gang of kids that hangs around the reservoir...not one of them can look you in the eye without breaking into a cold sweat. They're keeping a secret, and it's got them all on edge. Something's going on in this town of ours, something that makes your skin crawl and your teeth grind in the night. I don't know what it is, but I know It scares me.
