   Summary

   After the whole poppy business, Kearns ends up in one of Romania's unassuming villages. Without even knowing the language. But fortunately for him, somebody knows English. And unfortunately for her, she's about to meet the worst tourist of her life.
   Nietzsche's Übermensch and Mioritic Fatalism collide. Fatally and dramatically. They mix as well as oil splashed on a hot pan or socks drenched in water.

   Covers a possible gap between "The Monstrumologist" and The "Curse of Wendigo."
