Zoic

On this fine evening, Robin brings all three of her AM 686 listeners with her as she attends the first meeting of the Gas Station Book Club (rebranded, of course, after the library ban). However, what begins as a perfectly normal discussion of A Brief History of the Mesozoic Midwest: The Missing Fossil History quickly turns chaotic as Lotte arrives with derision and a discovery.

Welcome to Hawley Heights, home of the world's friendliest (?) taxidermy, and former home (thanks to The Incident) of the Haunted Taxidermy Trail! Meet Robin, your late night tour guide, as she begins her moderately illegal radio journey in this weird, frequently power-outaged little town.

Hawley Heights, once semi-famous for its Haunted Taxidermy Trail (until the incident, anyway) is not the place where anyone dreams of returning. But when Robin finds herself back in her hometown (and running a moderately illegal and largely pointless radio tourism show), strange things begin to happen. Power outages. Odd sounds over the radio waves. New/old bones that really shouldn't be in these woods. Plus - why is there a creepy sculpted T-Rex skull with taxidermied rabbit ears in the hardware store?

Something's going down in Hawley Heights, and it's up to Robin and a group of intrepid, kinda cracked weirdos to figure it out!
