On the surface: Ebon Eaves may have been a destination once upon a time, but that time has passed. No kids walk the streets. The folks are greying and are nice enough in a drug-hazed, dream fugue sort of way – except for the handful whose eyes are sharp and smiles are predatory.

The Mystery: The Ashford family has always been known for two things: wealth beyond measure and a history of madness in the family line.
Angela Ashford, a mere twenty-two and last of the line, has returned home to put her father to rest and restore the estate according to his last wishes. Already, she has the town in an uproar, and the sole boarding house is filled to capacity. After one night in Ashford Manor, she was found wandering half-naked in the streets, bleeding and in a stupor, mumbling the words…”It can’t be.” To keep away reporters, Mayor Castwick’s family has taken in the poor girl, and her personal physician is already in attendance. Work on the home has been temporarily suspended.
