The Descent and Other Strange Stories

4.7/5 ( ratings)

In these eleven tales, a scout leader returns to the camp where he last believed in monsters—and finds one. A neglected statue seeks solitude in the cold and the deep. A mid-19th century woman receives a letter from the 21st century. A teenager living in a dead rock star’s house is haunted by his songs. A child is transmogrified into a living family tree. A dying writer receives a visit from a most unlikely critic. A house makes a sacrifice for itself and for its neighborhood . . .

There are tidal waves of trash, predatory pictures, and ditch spirits who lure young boys. The present pulsates with vengeful pasts and is contacted by dubious futures. There are surrenders to the dark, but there is also redemption in the light of long dead and bioluminescent stars.
