The PitStrange things have been happening around River Reach, the demolition site near Oliver Wright's home in London. A workman runs screaming from the site. A mysterious blood-red cross appears out of nowhere on Oliver's door. And agonized howls seem to be coming from Oliver's cellar. A force of immense power has been unleashed, and soon it will hurl Oliver back through time, into a nightmare world. |
