Cult of The Shadow People — Eric S. Brown

Some call it a ghost town - others simply say that Weeping Willow is abandoned... The town's dark past makes it an ideal home for a depraved cult that has seemingly sprung from nowhere... Attempting to work with occult powers they had no true understanding of, they inadvertently opened a portal into an alternate dimension comprised of pure evil. A portal through which an indescribably hideous creature can travel with frightening ease... NOW... Legends of a fabulous treasure left somewhere in Weeping Willow's long-shuttered theater attracts the attention of an intrepid group of fortune hunters - which among its number include several experts in the dark lore of black magick and the occult... Will their quest end in riches and wealth - or terror and damnation?
