It's the 1950s and Misty Valley is just another sleepy, All-American town, nestled along the Miskatonic River. Unlike sister cities Arkham and Dunwich, Misty Valley has managed to avoid the peculiar occurrences that have plagued the region since the days of the colonial witch trials. That is, until the night Carol Anne Fairweather and her boyfriend, Billy Mahan, parked too far down on Lover's Lane. Inspired by the work of H.P.Lovecraft, award-winning horror writer Nancy A. Collins adds to the never-ending Cthulhu Mythos with a novelette that was nominated for the Horror Writers Association's prestigious Bram Stoker Award.
