Norman Rockwell would have found no shortage of subjects for his paintings in any of the small communities in Presque Isle County. It is an idyllic region in Michigan's northeastern Lower Peninsula with more than 50 miles of Lake Huron shoreline, dozens of inland lakes and streams, and sprawling forests of pines and hardwoods. It was probably those attributes that attracted Native Americans to the region about 8,000 years ago. Shortly after the Civil War, the Indians were joined by throngs of European immigrants who found jobs in lumber camps and sawmills or homesteaded farms. The region's lumber boom was followed by a limestone boom in the early 20th century, and it created hundreds of jobs in the quarries and on ships that carried the stone to markets around the Great Lakes. The boom years are just a memory now, but the natural attributes of the county attract tourists and modern settlers seeking a more serene experience than can be found in the tourist meccas on Michigan's west coast.
There is a place where the creatures of nightmares exist. They have been spoken of and written about through time, myths and legends passed from generation to generation, their stories finding a nesting place in the minds of children. Sam Love is about to find them... and they are about to find him... and a jolly fat man in a red suit is watching on with interest. 35 years ago shadows drift across a midsummer festival in Hollow's End and a little girl disappears... 35 years later, Sam and his family move to a new life in the country village of Hollow's End. Initially the only place he feels comfortable is in a treehouse in an ancient oak tree outside his bedroom window. But nightmares start and Sam gets his first glimpse of the dangerous world he's about to be drawn into. He finds a comforting ear in his new neighbour, an old farmer called Bob, and the two begin to forge a friendship - but it guides him down less travelled woodland paths and into a world between night and day.
