âKnock knock.â
âWhoâs there?â
Nobody in Skary seems to know for sureâĻ
It appears that everyone in Skary, Indiana, is having an identity crisis of epic proportionsâincluding the town itself. Once known as the haunt of the worldâs most popular horror writer, Wolfe âBooâ Boone, Skary started losing tourist business after Boo abruptly abandoned his career. Now the little town with the big marketing hook is up a creekâand on the brink of bankruptcy.
Meanwhile, the former best-selling author is hawking [or selling] cars and wondering, like the rest of the world, if heâll ever write again. Yet even as Booâs literary career gracelessly plummets, his fiancÊe, wholesome Ainsley Parker, is shooting to stardom as the mediaâs darling new domestic diva.
Weave in a dreaming bride with a bargain dress and a few too many pounds on her hips, an unconventional therapist who has Skary in his thrall, a depressed cat, a dogged busybody, and a horde of strange, ghostly figures traipsing in and out of the woods, and itâs easy to see why Skary is the quirkiestâand most charmingâtown around.
