Winnipeg launch of Enter, Night (ChiZine Publications) featuring an introduction from Winnipeg's own horror maestra Susie Moloney, author of The Thirteen.
Welcome to Parr's Landing, Population 1,528...and shrinking.
The year is 1972. Built on the site of a decimated 17th-century Jesuit mission to the Ojibwa, Parr’s Landing is a town with secrets of its own buried in the caves around Bradley Lake. A three-hundred-year-old horror slumbers there, calling out to the insane and the murderous for centuries, begging for release—an invitation that has finally been answered. One man is following that voice, cutting a swath of violence across the country, bent on a terrible resurrection of the ancient horror...plunging the town and all its people into an endless night.
