The fashion in which Laymon insinuates these otherworldly elements into the otherwise normal world of his hero is brilliantly done, with Ed's distraught emotional state seeming to act as a catalyst. Needless to say, Ed becomes involved with these sinister figures, particularly a mystery girl who will change his life. Depressed, he goes out one night for a walk. There are others out on the streets are they human, these figures who hide in the shadows? Certainly, the prey they seek is marked for a grisly end. It tells the story of a schlub college student named Ed who was recently dumped and cheated on by his girlfriend.

He receives a letter that destroys his hopes she has fallen in love with another man and won't be coming back. But when Ed returns to campus, Holly doesn't.
