Monsters, men in black, conspiracies, and unknown energy fields. All a standard week of reporting for the papers of Bayfield. But stranger than the tales in print are the ones untold, in the memories of the seafaring storyteller Winslow Hoffner. When past blurs with resent, and science blurs with magic, only the bravest of adventurers will heed the call to discover the true nature of those fantastic creatures known as cryptids, and the goals of the covert groups that hunt them.
