In the tradition of Jack Finney and Stephen King, a new tale of small-town horror.

An unspeakable invasion has begun in Rainier, Washington, a small town home to bluegrass, homemade cookies, and dirt bike races. Sarah knows Rainier. She grew up in this town, cleaning up its trash, driving the garbage truck through the streets in the early morning hours. She sees what people throw out.

Finding a collection of pristine, collectible books waiting for the trash? Unusual. Discovering the dark reason the owner discarded the books? Terrifying. An insidious terror threatens to take over Rainier and gain a foothold on the world—unless Sarah finds a way to stop the invasion!
