description: What happens when idyllic small-towns and the simple folk who inhabit them collide with inexplicable evil borne of a vast and uncaring cosmos? Imagine a series of stories set in a golden era of American life where worldly troubles are regarded from a distance if at all.Hear the buzz of playing cards clipped in childrens spokes echo down quiet lanes. Smell the faint aroma of rich tobacco smoke from an old mans pipe on a shady boulevard. Listen to the gossip of small towns where everyone knows everyones business.Or do they?Sometimes deadly secrets lurk out in the barn. Sometimes unimaginable evil awaits us in the root cellar. Sometimes we fall under the sway of the Shadows Over Main Street.Come inside and sit for a spell---Foreword by Ramsey Campbell.Cover illustration by Luke Spooner.Interior illustrations by Paul Carrick Vincent Chong John Coulthart Galen Dara and M.
