Storylandia 15 features five tales of dark fantasy and horror by British writer Julie Travis. "From the Bones," two ancient corpses are discovered on the wild moors of Devon and Cornwall. For one amateur archaeologist they reveal more about the past-and the landscape-than she'd ever imagined. "Grave Goods," Edward Dobbs' excuse for drinking and gambling his family's money away was, to quote an old saying, 'you can't take it with you when you go.' His son Eddy is offered a diabolical opportunity to disprove the adage. In "Scar Tissue," everyone's life leaves marks on them, physically or emotionally, but Marie was different. No scars, just flawless flesh, a life untainted by injury. "Theophany" shows us a hellish underworld that re-emerges to stalk present-day London, aided by a man with his own, deviant agenda. "Widdershins" brings us a girl who defies folklore and walks counter-clockwise around a church, an act that has repercussions for the rest of her life.

Add in all this, the band has a big show coming up that Hackenbush might not be able to do in her current state of mind. Could this be the end of Dr. Hackenbush and her Orchestra? Into this dire situation saunters Monte Vista, theater maven supreme, who says he wants Hackenbush to help him write his memoirs. But for what he really wants... well, Hackenbush will have to call in reinforcements for that. And even then the outcome isn't a sure thing.
