When a stray baseball shatters the Parkers' new picture window, Mrs. Parker hastily hires a sinister glazier to repair it—only to discover that his replacement window opens onto something far more terrifying than their suburban lawn. As ghosts begin pouring through the glass and Jim Parker ventures into the realm beyond, he uncovers a sinister plot connecting the creepy glazier to a war between the living and the dead, with his family caught in the middle of two worlds colliding.

A supernatural tale that weaves patriotism and moral reckoning into a 1952 thriller unlike any other.
In "The Phantom Fliers," pilot Bill finds himself in a desperate flight from Assam to Karachi when engine trouble forces him to consider bailing out over treacherous mountains—until a mysterious squadron of vintage warplanes signals him to land at an uncharted airfield. Taken for a new recruit, Bill soon realizes the other fliers are not alive, but ghosts trapped in a cycle of deadly missions. Only he and a woman named Nora seem to exist in the real world, and their connection may be the only key to breaking the pattern.
Brian Fletcher visits Cypress Hall to confront his estranged uncle, only to find him dead—and discover a confession detailing his father's murder.

As Brian grapples with the curse's growing pull, a chance accident forces him to reckon with the very real possibility that he may become a danger to everyone around him.
