"The shrunken head's first appearance will slink around in your mind for days afterwards ... at its gristly heart this is a really good story." - Joanna Nielson of The Haunted Eyeball Beth's life is perfect, but then she's constructed it to be that way. She never steps outside the boundaries and never colors outside the lines, but something happens to crumble it all away. Something in the middle of the night - something no one can remember. Something that brings on a debilitating insomnia that affects the entire community. Sadie, the town drunk, accuses Beth of being the reason. She's certain that an evil the divorced mother committed is the cause of bringing ruin and damnation to their fair city. As the sleepless nights continue, the paranoia grows. Soon even Beth's best friend joins the chorus of voices demanding to know what Beth is hiding. Beth knows it's all untrue, but her adamant defense begins to falter when a strange man knocks on her door and delivers an ominous message. What he says strikes at the heart of the mystery as to what is happening in Breckenridge, and portends a horrific fate that awaits them all. THE MAN WITH THE BLUE HAT is a bedtime story designed to evoke nightmares. Written by W. Potocki, the winner of The Top Ten "New" Horror Authors, it's unrelenting horror at its finest.
