S2E3 | The Darker Season | Tales From The Hollow

Episode 3 of Season 2 of Tales from The Hollow Herald McKinnon has been making his rounds through Wawaset County since before the roads had names. He knows every ward he has set, every line he has held, every piece of iron he has put in the ground across a lifetime of work he has never fully explained to anyone. He knows what routine feels like. Tuesday morning. A depression on forty-three acres of unowned bottom land. Forty-one years quiet. Not quiet anymore. Across town, Roy Chandler has been working through his call slips. Sixteen calls since early March. Dogs that won't go in yards. Sounds at night that one person in the house can hear and the other can't. A feeling of being watched that keeps showing up in the same part of the county. Roy has spent nine years learning to read a pattern. He is reading one now. When Herald and Roy lay what they have found side by side, the picture becomes clear. The thing circling Willow's Bend is not moving randomly. It is building a map. And both of them know, without saying the name out loud, exactly what the center of that circle is. Frank Harmon has known this call was coming. He has been telling himself he needs more time. The thing circling Michael Anderson's life does not care about his schedule.

S2E2 | The Darker Season | Tales From The Hollow

Episode 2 of Season 2 of Tales from The Hollow Michael Anderson is twenty years old. He works the finishing stage at a copper fittings plant outside Willow's Bend. He goes to church on Sundays. He is good at his job, good at his life, good at pushing the things he does not examine back to where they belong. He has been pushing them back since he was ten years old. The dreams that went quiet for two years have started again. The tire swing on the old oak. His uncle's voice from the wrong direction. And something new — a figure at the end of the drive that has never been in this particular dream before. A laugh at the edge of hearing that is almost right. Almost. At Ironwood Retreat, Frank Harmon and Herald McKinnon have spent the winter following a thread through ten years of records. The thread points upstream along the Nakin Creek cave system toward something that was in the ground long before Ironwood existed. Frank knows they are running out of time. He is not ready to make the call. Not yet. This is not a standalone story. The Darker Season is a continuous serialized narrative following one unfolding threat across 12 episodes.
