It opens in Andrea Cordle's backyard, where the Grove City Messenger writer is brushing off a caller's push for a werewolf article when a howl rises from the tree line and something large gallops after her to the back door. From there it follows Sean Dyer, a homesick boy dropped off with his Uncle Curtis and Aunt Jade for Halloween weekend while his parents close on a new house in North Carolina; the town is under a sundown curfew that no adult will explain, and a police officer sends Sean and his uncle home from Tammy's Pizza on Broadway before dark. The next morning the TV news reports that a beast crashed through the front window of Skylark's Toys and Comics and attacked owner Darren Neff, and at the Grove City Visitor Center, Teresa Breckenridge quietly tells Sean that people all over town have seen a giant wolf walking upright on two legs. By Sunday a second attack has made the news, police are urging everyone to stay indoors, and Sean takes a fifty-dollar job helping Reese, the friendly neighbor with a dog named Bongo, clear out his cluttered attic.
