A near-deserted town in the middle of nowhere, Nebulah's days of prosperity are gone. One winter solstice the birds disappear. A mysterious mist arrives, and the inhabitants learn not to venture out after dark - anyone who does it torn apart by terrifying ghosts. Gradually the town is abandoned, until only six remain. When another one dies, one of them receives a warning from a psychic: he will be dead by the next solstice - unless he leaves town. A gripping literary horror novel about the death of a haunted town, for fans of Richard Matheson. Winner of the Aurealis Award for Best Horror, shortlisted for the Colin Roderick Award.
