Entering Gosston

The Signed and lettered deluxe hardcover edition with slipcase, and the signed and double lettered hardcover edition is up for preorder!

The town of Gosston exists simply on the other side of a train tunnel, but what a difference another dimension can make.

Gosston is the home of a ghost-filled factory that glows blue in the night … a former sanitarium where the inventor Edwin Cronos conducts his experiments … and the shadowy Entities that can be glimpsed in certain movies. In Gosston one might encounter a foul-mouthed ventriloquist’s dummy turned music star … an annual migration of giant extradimensional beetles … and the seven mysterious pearls that are hidden inside each and every human being.

But whatever else one might experience there, you do not want to meet the gaze of the floating Ephemeral Eye.

For us, Gosston is an alternate reality. But for the townsfolk of Gosston, we are just as strange.

These ten stories and novellas collect all of Jeffrey Thomas’s trips into the weird little town that is Gosston. Now you can visit there, too. It’s only a train ride away.
