The story of Cassidy, cam girl in modern-day SoCal; Paloma, Fulbright scholar in newly Westernized Prague; Jane, farm girl working at the FBI in DC during WWII. Each leaves Appalachia to find a new life, only to be pulled back to the land they know.
Two short story horror tales. The doppelganger files are about evil look-alikes from a dying earth invade an alternate earth. Creatures who smile is about an orphan that gets adopted by serial killers that want to teach him their ways.
