When just a child, Lewis is nearly killed in a fire. He soon discovers that he has a secret guardian — a giant, horrifying creature that only he can see.

Now grown, Lewis lives away from town, his unseen guardian always with him, keeping him on the periphery of society. When tragedy threatens to strike a busload of school children, Lewis makes a decision that has unintended and irreversible consequences.

The people of the tiny town of Trackville have always been wary of the boy, but now some are terrified of him.

With THE UNSEEN, Paul Melniczek presents a classically-flavored horror tale that illustrates the destructive nature of small-town prejudices.
