The chills begin on a late October evening at an East Texas ranch when Chintana, a seamstress recovering from a painful divorce, encounters a shadowy caped Story Teller recounting for five orphans a tale of revenge, a harrowing quest, and a terrible sword, which everyone soon realizes waits before them, concealed in a long black box, honed for new crime.

Danielewski will be joined by four special guest performers--including Betsy Brandt of Breaking Bad--bringing to life the five narrating voices, as well as theater artist Christine Marie who will cast large scale cinematic shadow effects and sound designer John Zalewski conjuring an evening of whispering voices and the intricacies of malice foretold and retold. After the performance Danielewski will join patrons in the lobby for a book signing.
