Something is very wrong in Baron's Hollow...The Baron's Hollow Omnibus contains every volume from the first arc of 'Those Who Dwell in the Dark', some revised chapters and entries, and a new prologue to the story! Those Who Dwell in the Dark is the story of seven high-school misfits who, after a chance encounter at detention on the last day of school, unwittingly find themselves to be at the forefront of a terrifying mystery. A strange illness affecting almost everyone in their small town, a series of grisly murders and disappearances, and the sneaking suspicion that supernatural forces are at play lead the kids to band together and destroy whatever seems to be terrorizing them. The threat, however, proves to be both physical and psychological, stripping away at their already fragile states of being. Only one question remains: Will they survive?

Twenty-one-year-old Vancouver student Elisa Lam was last heard from on January 31, 2013, after she checked into downtown L.A.'s Cecil Hotel-a 600-room building with a nine-decade history of scandal and tragedy. The next day, Elisa vanished. A search of the hotel yielded nothing. More than a week later, complaints by guests of foul-smelling tap water led to a grim discovery: Elisa's nude body floating in a rooftop water tank, in an area extremely difficult to access without setting off alarms. The only apparent clue was a disturbing surveillance video of Elisa, uploaded to YouTube in hopes of public assistance

In the small town of Baron's Hollow, something is very wrong. A dead body of a mysterious man is found. Brutal, animalistic killings become more and more commonplace. No one is acting right. After a chance encounter, a group of friends begin to investigate what's wrong with their hometown, as it seems no one else, not even the police, seem particularly keen on solving these frightening occurrences. The more they uncover, the more outlandish and horrifying the truth begins to seem.

In an attempt to track the source of all the happenings in Baron's Hollow, Joey, Reese, Nadia, Chris, Mary, Izzy, and Leo all venture into the wilderness, unsure of what exactly awaits them. As they travel through the most dense and mysterious part of their hometown, they attempt to support one another as their descent into the forest slowly begins to strip away their minds. Only one thing is certain - they are not alone.

Rescued and woken up by a pair of mysterious strangers, the group finds themselves thrown into a centuries-long battle between light and darkness. As their main threat looms ever closer, they seek refuge in a cabin, desperate for answers. While their rescuers assume the kids have stumbled into this disaster purely by chance, they make a startling discovery that further complicates matters.

(CONTENT WARNING! THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS SCENES OF GRAPHIC VIOLENCE AND HORROR, DISCRETION ADVISED) The Nightmare has begun. After the group is ambushed by an unseen enemy, they find themselves all in unfamiliar places, separated from one another. Some awake to find places long since forgotten in their past, others discover hellish domains that defy all logic and reason. The line between dreams and reality are blurred, and with no hope of escape, our heroes may not live long enough to see themselves heal, as the mental and physical trauma cuts deeper than any of them thought possible. Unbeknownst to them, their fear and pain only feeds their enemy, and as it grows stronger, so does it's desire to siphon not on their weakness, but on their very bodies.

The narrative delves into a perplexing unsolved case, exploring the disappearance of a family transformed by trauma and radicalization. Through thorough research, personal interviews, and unique evidence, the author reveals the intricate dynamics that led to their unsettling fate. This investigation not only seeks to uncover the truth but also examines the psychological and emotional factors that contributed to their drastic change.
