This is a story about the thin line between the ordinary and the unspeakable. It is about that stranger you met who seemed... off, not quite human.

Mark Zukofsky wanted one final family vacation before his son shipped off to college, one final chance to repair the damage of the past eighteen years. Alex Zukofsky wanted to get laid.

Mark finds the father figure he never had in Justin, a retiree camping in the adjacent lot. Alex finds that picking up girls is harder than reading about it on the internet.

Mark can't believe he's never met anyone like Justin before, someone who deeply understands his fears and desires. Alex can't believe his five senses. The inexplicable odor of ammonia and dead fish. Shadows that move on their own. It keeps getting worse. He worries he's cracking up.

It would be better for everyone if he were.

This horror novella features everyday life in the style of Stephen King and alien horror in the style of H.P. Lovecraft.
