The Seven Whistlers
Synopsis
In the small New England town of Kingsbury, Vermont, young Rose Kerrigan mourns the strange, sweet grandfather who raised her. She soon learns the legend of the Seven Whistlers: on stormy nights and at sunset, a weird whistling crosses the sky, heralding enormous black dogs - demonic hounds loosed from the Wild Hunt, hunting for lost souls. The hounds have come to Kingsbury for a soul that has been hidden from them, and they will not leave without it. First one appears, then two, then four. If all seven ever gather in one place, it will mean the end of the world. A standalone novella by frequent collaborators Christopher Golden and Amber Benson, unconnected to their Ghosts of Albion books.
