Bisbee, Arizona. Summer, 1987. Radio host Steve Richards settles into his booth for another late-night show, watching an unexpected thunderhead roll over the desert town. As rain begins to fall, calls pour in from frantic townspeople.

With each call, the picture becomes clearer: Bisbee is under siege. The visitors in the storm are playing games with the townspeople—cruel, incomprehensible games with rules that shift like smoke. Steve, trapped in his broadcast booth, can only listen as his town tears itself apart.

As the night wears on and the calls grow more desperate, Steve realizes that being a witness might be the most dangerous role of all. Because the visitors are listening too.

And they’re learning.

A horror novella for fans of cosmic dread and small-town nightmares, Strange Skies delivers chilling vignettes of terror wrapped in the intimate claustrophobia of a late-night radio show.
