(W) Tim Seeley (A) Stephen Molnar (CA) Richard Pace. "Polly Peachpit." Those were the words 10-year-old Brinke Calle said when she was found covered in her own blood by the woods in rural Cannon Falls. Her best friend* Melba* had just attempted to murder her because a spider girl named Polly Peachpit told her to. Since that day* Melba has spent seven years in a mental health facility. Tomorrow is her 18th birthday. Tomorrow she'll be transferred to a federal prison. Tomorrow her real sentence will begin. That is* until she receives a visit from FBI Agent Virgil Crockett. Crockett explains that there is another world beyond ours* where hungry* spectral aliens stalk the minds of the impressionable and weak. These things* called IMPs (Interdimensional Mental Parasites) feed on compliance. They convince hosts to do things for them* and the more they feed* the stronger they become. More IMPs stream into the world each day* invisible to everyone but his or her hosts.
