The Familialists

The reappearance of an old flame, held hostage by a man claiming to be her husband.

A seemingly-innocuous invitation laced with a coded signal for help.

An impossible neighborhood with a terrifying secret.

Sorrel follows the calls for help from her ex Maud to Trinity Springs, an uncanny Americana neighborhood that she cannot find any record of actually existing. A place that defies the laws of physics. A place of eerily smiling faces, white-picket fences, and manicured lawns. A place where she, and only she, is warned not to go outside after sundown.

To free Maud from the grip of the town, and to escape a personal and terrifying subjugation, Sorrel must face a monster out of America’s past, and the people who are helping that monster claw its way back to the present.
