Darkness at the Edge of Town

Darkness at the Edge of Town

By Stan Rogal

A ghostly tale of family ties and madness.

A young man, Ray, returns to where he was born, Weyburn, SK, after several years traveling anonymously around the country. He’s recently been suffering from frightening nightmares and he feels they may have something to do with his past, especially within the walls of the abandoned former mental asylum where his father had worked and his mother had been a patient. Old loves, old wounds and old grievances are rekindled, made especially difficult by the fact that his brother is the town sheriff and is also married to Ray’s former girlfriend. The presence of an older, mute, indigenous woman adds to the mystery
