It's only a small, quiet library in a small New England town. But underneath is a secret that enslaves them all. For years, Jody has managed the library supposedly mentoring librarians who stay only a few months before moving on to their dream jobs. Once again she's given the newest recruit a warning with her new responsibilities - always bring a sweater to the reference desk. When Tina survives the sacrifice and becomes the new manager, she learns the secret the town has been keeping since the Colonial era. From here on, she is responsible for providing the sacrifices to the frozen wasteland on the other side of the portal. Her new job only ends when she does. Jessica, a reporter and blogger, notices the staffing changes at the library and believes she's found a problematic pattern. Through her blog, she involves the town in her investigation. They all know something is wrong with their library, even the children are afraid, but are they ready to know the truth?What is Kraulaak and what does it want? Fall into eight short stories and explore this hungry world as more and more residents disappear and town leaders fight for the truth and survival.
