Summary

Harper: A Collection of Horrors is a deeply disturbing novel containing a collection of fictional accounts of current and former residents of the town of Harper in southern California. The narrator is a 53-year-old former Harperite named Gordon Groff and who wants to 'come clean' about the city's horrendous past which has scarred the narrator, his family and many of the people who lived in the town between 1950 and 1980. Nobody else wants to talk about Harper's past, so Groff breaks the silence and recounts the history of the area where the city is located and proceeds to tell the supernatural and gruesome tales which his family and neighbors have recounted to him. He also puts into words for the first time the horrific incidents which he witnessed as a child
