The Population: A Cosmic Horror

The town of Harlow Creek doesn't appear on any highway map.

When Emmi and her friends stop there for food and a broken-down car strands them overnight, they notice small things. No mirrors. The same handwriting on every sign. Teenagers who stand in the street at three in the morning and don't move.

By morning, Emmi knows something is wrong with the people of Harlow Creek.

She just can't hold the thought long enough to say it out loud.

The Population is a cosmic body horror novella about a town that should be easy to leave. About the specific horror of knowing something is wrong and reaching for the thought and finding it gone. About four friends who walked into something that had been here long before them.

And about what happens when it decides they are not all equally useful.

Contains graphic horror violence and body horror. Not suitable for sensitive readers.
