On the surface, San Palmo looks like any other small town. It has a diner where everyone knows each other and a bed and breakfast where only the tourists bother to stay. It's the kind of community that fights over bowling games and rallies behind its Little League team. But beneath the surface of this seemingly ordinary place, something far more sinister lurks.
A young woman documents her obsession with a seemingly innocent jar. A potter sneaks home a broken mannequin that reminds her of her dead husband. A family learns why locals steer clear of certain parts of the woods. A man suspects his wife of infidelity, but learns she's hiding so much more. As San Palmo's residents dig deeper into its mysteries, they discover their lives are intertwined in ways they never expected.
From black trees and masked killers to three generations of sheriffs keeping secrets, This Town is Sick is a collection of nineteen interconnected stories set in the cursed town of San Palmo. But be careful-while each story brings you closer to the truth, some knowledge comes at too steep a price.
