A mysterious man appears in town ... a man only children can see. A young boy's heart does not beat ... just like everyone else's in the world. A group of teenagers find an old woman in a cavern ... and a tunnel that leads to another dimension. Two boys on the run from an abusive father stumble across an empty farmhouse ... a farmhouse haunted by more than just memories. As Robert Swartwood proves in his first full-length collection, illusions are all around us. Some are real. Some are terrifying.
