A journalist witnesses par-thenogenesis in a junkyard in 'A Blood Without Blood'. An office manager contends with a monster trapped in his building's basement in 'Comfortidor'. In the novelette 'The Dreams of Pale Night', a young man yearns to leave an Alaskan town shielded from the sun. Within, lost souls are found.
