Synopsis:
"In this emotionally gripping, genre-defying novella from Sarah
Pinborough, a woman sits at her father's bedside, watching the clock
tick away the last hours of his life. Her brothers and sisters--she is
the middle child of five--have all turned up over the past week to pay
their last respects. Each is traumatized in his or her own way, and the

It is always at times like this when it--the dark and nameless, the impossible, presence that lingers along the fringes of the dark fields beyond the house--comes calling.
As the clock ticks away in the darkness, she can only wait for it to find her, a reunion she both dreads and aches for..."
