Eden, Kentucky, another bad-luck, dying town, is known for the legend of E. Starling, reclusive author and illustrator of The Underland who disappeared. Before she vanished, Starling House appeared, but that house and its last heir, Arthur Starling, are believed best left to rot. Opal knows better than to involve herself in such things, but an unexpected job offer changes things. As sinister forces converge on Starling House, secrets must come unburied and fears must be confronted before Eden is overtaken by nightmares.
