But the building's fate hangs in the balance as financing problems halt the project. Contractor Bill McGuire, all set to proceed, can't hide his dismay: with a family and another baby on the way, he can't afford delays. Then a package arrives at the McGuires' —a beautiful antique doll with long blonde hair. His daughter, Megan, wraps her arms around it; his wife, Elizabeth, remains suspicious. Who sent the doll? Who is it for? What neither Elizabeth nor Bill can know is that this innocent-looking gift brings with it a murderous menace.... Part 2 Twist of Fate: The Locket, First Edition , March 1997 Jules Hartwick should be on top of the world. He has a distinguished career as president of the First National Bank Blackstone, and his lovely daughter will soon be married. Bu his contentment is shattered: he's under investigation by the Federal Reserve and that frightening audit threatens the financing of the Blackstone Center, which is slated to rise on the site of the old Asylum. And now, late at night, after a lavish dinner party, the Hartwicks receive a mysterious package containing a silver locket. Who sent it? Why? Jules has his own suspicions, as this second sinister gift unleashes a bloodcurdling chain of events.... Part 3 Ashes to Ashes: The Dragons Flame, FE Apr 1997 The long-abandoned drive-in theater just outside Blackstone is now a sprawling Sunday flea market, the perfect place for Rebecca Morrison to find a "welcome home" gift for her cousin Andrea. Andrea's return to Blackstone is fraught with trouble as she and her mother, Rebecca's straitlaced Aunt Martha, clash. Hoping to ease the tension, Rebecca buys her cousin a beautiful cigarette lighter in the form of a dragon, an exotic item that the salesperson doesn't remember seeing before. But the dragon's flame will soon ignite the darkest side of human nature.... Part 4 In the Shadow of Evil: The Handkerchief, FE May 1997 While researching an historical piece on the Asylum for the town's newspaper, editor Oliver Metcalf digs through the attic that once belonged to his father, the last superintendent of the facility. There, among the dusty medical records, Oliver discovers a beautifully embroidered linen handkerchief with an ornate "R" in one corner. He decides it will make a lovely present for Rebecca Morrison, who recently suffered a horrifying family tragedy. But is this token of affection the innocent object it seems? What tears were once dried with Rebecca's handkerchief— and how many more will begin to flow? Part 5 Day of Reckoning: The Stereoscope, FE June 1997 When attorney Ed Becker spots the carved antique dresser in a dusty attic, he takes it to restore. Then Ed and his young daughter, Amy, make a curious discovery: Inside one of the drawers are a set of old pictures and a stereoscope, an old-fashioned device that allows you to see images in three dimensions. Oddly, all the photos resemble their house, where Ed's grandparents lived long ago. But the scenes inside the stereoscope also bring to vivid life some terrifying memories, eerie images that seem all too real.... Part 6 Asylum, FE, July 1997 Editor Oliver Metcalf has written a provocative article on the Asylum that implies there may be a curse on the town. The community is outraged, charging him with inflaming hysteria. More urgent is the mysterious disappearance of Rebecca Morrison. As Blackstone rallies to find the missing woman, a mysterious package arrives on Harvey Connally's front porch. The contents hold the ultimate, grisly key to the horrors of the Asylum. Now, at last, Oliver must confront the gruesome truth of the past— one that threatens to crush all the inhabitants of Blackstone in one final grip of terror...
