Though, to be fair, \"They\" are probably right about this one. To quote the Bible, \"Learning the truth can be like loosening a necktie, only to realize it was the only thing keeping your head attached.\" No, don't put the book back on the shelf -- it is now your duty to purchase it to prevent \u003ci\u003eothers\u003c\/i\u003e from reading it. Yes, it works with e-books, too, I don't have time to explain how. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile investigating a fairly straightforward case of a shape-shifting interdimensional child predator, Dave, John, and Amy realized there might actually be something weird going on. Together, they navigate a diabolically convoluted maze of illusions, lies, and their own incompetence in an attempt to uncover a terrible truth they -- like you -- would be better off not knowing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYour first impulse will be to think that a story this gruesome -- and, to be frank, stupid -- cannot possibly be true.
