When James and his roommate Vance stumble home drunk, they find a young woman lying on their couch. Without a word, she walks into James’s room, lies down on his bed, and dies. After that, nothing is the same.
The streets, James discovers on his walks to and from the grocery store, are forlorn and empty.
His roommate, despite his loud and reckless nature, begins spending an unusual amount of time in his room with the door locked, strange shuffling sounds coming from within.
And his new girlfriend, the cute and free-spirited Allie, may know more about what’s happening than she lets on, and she’s about to take James on a surreal, drug-fueled journey to see the Hallow…and the horrors it has unleashed…

Review
"Keith Deininger deserves a big spot on the New Weird fiction sub genre. If he doesn't become a legend, then there's something wrong with this world."
~ Darkness Dwells
"Readers who treasure literary ambiguity, shifting realities--not to mention drugged up weirdness--should love this one."
~ This is Horror UK
"Whether it's supernatural, drug induced hallucinations or tormented nightmare, or all three, that's up to you, but it's certainly mystifyingly strange at times and perlexingly curious at others. Very well written and it will leave you thinking..."
~ Paul Read or Dead
"This is another trippy, mind F@@k type story that this author is becoming famous for."
