Diners are for pattymelts, not meltdowns. For decaf, not demons. And yet here we are, with a snowball's chance in hell of making it out alive.

Welcome to Blanket of Shadows.

****

Snow is falling, and the roads are getting treacherous in a small southern town ill-equipt to handle it. Andy, a recovering addict, is trying to close down the diner a bit early to make his probation meeting, when a strange family enters. It's quickly obvious that the parents are terrified of the child. The result is a showdown between two people fighting their demons, and time is running out.

Welcome to Blanket of Shadows.

This is a story about a terrifying trip home for the holidays, and a forgotten island inhabited by the remnants of a doomed civilization. It's a mixture of questions about balance in the world and nostalgic nods to the nostalgic mysteries from the childhoods of Gen X and Millenials - quicksand, secret notes, the Bermuda Triangle, fantastic tales, whirlpools, and unexplained phenomena.

***

When Mikey flies home for the holidays to escape his sketchy business dealings, it turns into a disaster worse than the tales of his youth when his plane crashes in the Bermuda Triangle and he finds himself on an uncharted island. A mysterious woman holds the answers to his escape, but to free himself, he must first free the island from three ghastly entities that think they are gods.
