Evil forces, both natural and supernatural, threaten the folk of the hamlets and hollows, including witches, demons, and criminals. However, they must first contend with some extraordinary residents of the hills and valleys. Among them is Old Nathan the Wizard, a backwoodsman who, despite his modest claims about his magical abilities, possesses real powers and a trusty flintlock rifle. He talks to animals and boldly declares he would confront the Devil himself, a challenge he ultimately faces. A century later, new interlopers, from criminals to nosy college professors, invade the hills, but they encounter the Hogbens, a family of mutants with peculiar powers. These city folk are in for a surprise as they experience bizarre and unpleasant happenings. Meanwhile, the Slade family finds themselves entangled in a conflict between underground creatures tied to ancient legends of gnomes. They must ensure the right gnomes prevail, or risk triggering an earthquake that could devastate multiple states. This volume weaves together magic, mutants, and mountain folk, delivering a mix of grim, eerie, and wildly comic adventures.
