Short Synopsis
A must-listen novella for fans of science fiction and dark humor.

Full Synopsis
All roads lead to Underhill, where it's always winter, and never nice.

Harry Bodie has a famous grandmother, who wrote beloved children's books set in the delightful world of Underhill. Harry himself is a failing kids' television presenter whose every attempt to advance his career ends in self-sabotage. His family history seems to be nothing but an impediment.

An impediment . . . or worse. What if Underhill is real? What if it has been waiting decades for a promised child to visit? What if it isn't delightful at all? And what if its denizens have run out of patience and are taking matters into their own hands?

"Tchaikovsky (Children of Memory) narrates the novella himself, using his talents as a storyteller to imbue Harry, his one human ally, and the inhabitants of Underhill with a weariness that rings true. Harry, more irritating than heroic, has a voice to match but does not descend into caricature." ---Library Journal
