Description

While on vacation, Ted Barton is inexplicably drawn back to Millgate, the Virginia town of his childhood—but the village he finds is utterly unfamiliar, and local records insist that he died there as a boy. Trapped in a place that resists every attempt to escape, Ted searches for an explanation as reality begins to fracture around him. His investigation draws him into a strange conflict between opposing forces, transforming a journey home into a confrontation with hidden powers far beyond the town itself. Blending eerie fantasy, psychological suspense, and questions about identity and the nature of reality, this early work showcases Philip K. Dick’s gift for making the ordinary profoundly uncanny.
