The Blanks
The Blanks
Synopsis
On car-free Jeckle Island, wealthy families from the city live in easy comfort under one unspoken rule: never acknowledge the Blanks — the tall, skeletal figures that lurk at the edges of things. Ignore them, and life stays golden. But when Rachel's young son can't look away, the pact begins to unravel. Grady Hendrix's The Blanks, the third story in The Shivers, turns a summer idyll into a razor-edged parable of privilege and the price of looking too closely.
