Something forgotten but not dead still lives in the earth of New England.

Sticks by Karl Edward Wagner tells the story of Colin Leverett, a horror illustrator, who, on a fishing trip in the Adirondack Mountains, stumbles upon an abandoned house surrounded by eerie, geometric formations of sticks and boards. He sketches the figures, and is haunted by what he saw. Years later, he is commissioned to illustrate stories by the reclusive author H. Kenneth Allard (a thinly veiled homage to H.P. Lovecraft). When Leverett uses his old sketches of the stick lattices for the illustrations, he unknowingly activates an ancient, supernatural conspiracy tied to a cult worshipping the Great Old Ones.
