The story starts as follows:
\n<\/strong>A month before his deadline, Eddie Carroll ripped opan a manila envelope, and a magazine called\u00a0The True North Literary Review<\/em>\u00a0slipped out into his hands. Carroll was used to getting magazines in the mail, although most of them had titles like\u00a0Cemetery Dance<\/em>\u00a0and specialised in horror fiction. People sent him their books, too. Piles of them cluttered his Brookline townhouse, a heap on the couch in his office, a stack by the coffee maker. Books of horror stories, all of them.<\/p>\n
