When a lonely traveling salesman comes Handy's Pawn and Thrift looking for something he desperately wants, after normal visiting hours and night had fallen, he will face a harsh truth among the shelves: the things we want are rarely the things we need., "Kevin Lucia is this generation's answer to Charles L. Grant." - Brian Keene The things we want are so very rarely the things we need. Clifton Heights, a modest Adirondack town, offers many unique attractions. Arcane Delights sells both paperbacks and hard-to-find limited editions. The Skylark Diner serves the best home-cooked meals around, with friendly service and a smile. Every August, Mr. Jingo's County Fair visits, to the delight of children and adults. In essence, Clifton Heights is the quintessential small American town. Everyone knows everyone else, and everyone is treated like family. It is quiet, simple, and peaceful. But shadows linger here. Flitting in dark corners, from the corner of the eye. If you walk down Main Street after dark, the slight scrape of shoes on asphalt whispers you're not alone, but when you look over your shoulder, no one is there. The moon shines high and bright in the night sky, but instead of throwing light, it only seems to make the shadows lengthen. Children disappear. Teens run away. Hunters get lost in the woods with frightening regularity. Husbands go mad, and wives vanish in the dead of night. And still, when the sun rises in the morning, you are greeted by townspeople with warm waves and friendly smiles, and the shivers pass as everything seems fresh and new... Until night falls once more. Handy's Pawn and Thrift sits several blocks down from Arcane Delights. Like any thrift store, its wares range from the mundane to the bizarre. By daylight, it seems just another slice of small town Americana. But in its window hangs a sign which reads: We Have Things You Need. And when a lonely traveling salesman comes looking for something he desperately wants, after normal visiting hours, after night has fallen, he will face a harsh truth among the shelves of Handy's Pawn and Thrift: the things we want are rarely the things we need.

Grant." - Brian Keene "This is sophisticated adult fiction. With an edge. At times, the book virtually becomes folklore: clever, witty, elegant folklore, with a sting - many stings - including moments of iconic dread." - Robert Dunbar, Bram Stoker Award Winning Author of THE PINES and WILLY "Kevin Lucia writes my favorite kind of horror, the kind not enough folks are writing anymore." - Kealan Patrick Burke "Kevin Lucia is a major new voice in the horror genre." - Jonathan Janz "Kevin Lucia's writing is both scary and smart, a lethal cocktail that makes for mesmerizing storytelling." - Tosca Lee, New York Times Bestselling Author of Demon: A Memoir "Lucia is a true craftsman of the horror story, with a fine sense of the genre's best traditions." - Norman Prentiss, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Invisible Fences and The Fleshless Man "Lucia writes tales that stick with you, that are memorable. And believe me, they are the best kind." - Bram Stoker Award Winning Author, USA Today Bestseller Tom Monteleone
