«Es gibt Tagmenschen, und es gibt Nachtmenschen, und ich gehöre definitiv zu Letzteren. Mein Leben findet nach Einbruch der Dunkelheit statt.» Mercy Lake ist eine Außenseiterin, die es liebt, andere zu beobachten. Durch eine Tageslichtphobie ans Haus gefesselt, verlässt sie ihre Wohnung nur im Schutz der Dunkelheit, um die Menschen in ihrer Stadt zu beobachten. Zum Beispiel den Einbrecher «Kalte Hand Carl» oder «Liebeskummer-Linda», die immer Pech mit Männern hat. Und Simon Rafferty und seine Familie, der Mercy sich wegen einer einstweiligen Verfügung nicht nähern darf. Unbemerkt manipuliert Mercy die Leben ihrer Mitmenschen; nur um zu helfen, wie sie sich selbst immer wieder versichert. Als Mercy eines Nachts Louis kennenlernt, nimmt ihr Leben eine neue Wendung. Denn auch Louis mischt sich gerne in die Angelegenheiten anderer ein, allerdings zieht er eine drastischere Vorgehensweise vor. Er ist der Meinung, dass die meisten Leute in Cranner's Fort keine Hilfe brauchen, sondern Bestrafung verdienen. Am Anfang findet Mercy noch Gefallen daran, in der Stadt für Gerechtigkeit zu sorgen. Bis das Spiel außer Kontrolle gerät …

Welcome to Danforth Putnam, boarding school for the elite, sprawled across its own private island off the coast of New England. Sam, a war vet who feels sure he’s seen it all, has been called here to find a stolen rare book. But as he corners D&D nerds, grills steroid-raging linemen, and interviews filthy-rich actresses, he soon senses that something far stranger—“witchy”, in fact—is afoot. When students start to meet mysterious and gruesome deaths, Sam realizes just how fast the clock is ticking. After joining forces with plucky, epilepsy-defying school reporter Harriet, Sam ventures into increasingly dark territory, unravelling a supernatural mystery that will upend everything he thinks he knows about this school—and then shatter his own reality. Toss Dracula into a blender, throw in a shot of hard-boiled detective fiction, splash in a couple drops of Stranger Things, and pour yourself a nice tall glass of Friend of the Devil.
