The small south-west Australian town of Tillbrook has a secret, one that has been kept for over a hundred years. The Dervish Carnival is run by people who are neither human or animal, but live in the woods and howl at night.
Uptight hack David Hampden needs a good story, one that might revive his ailing career. His laid-back brother Paul, an amateur photographer, just needs a life. David drags Paul to Tillbrook to cover the carnival, but what they find is something much darker. (Back cover.)
