The Customer is Always Damned

Some towns are too perfect to be real.

August Morrison thought Millbrook was just another sleepy small town where nothing ever happened. The kind of place where everyone knew your name, local businesses somehow thrived despite impossible odds, and prosperity seemed to bubble up from some endless underground spring.

He was wrong.

When his dead-end job at the local supermarket leads him to uncover the town's impossible economic success, August discovers a tangled web stretching back nearly two centuries. Deals struck with entities that lurk in dark spaces.

Millbrook's prosperity comes at a price-one that every generation has been forced to pay.

But August's discovery marks him as someone special-someone the town's hidden benefactors have been waiting for. As he's drawn deeper into a conspiracy spanning centuries, he must choose between accepting a role he never wanted or fighting back against forces that have shaped his world since before his birth.

From the author comes a chilling tale of cosmic horror and small-town secrets, where customer service takes on terrifying new meaning, and the price of prosperity is higher than anyone could imagine.
