Once a year, every Saci Day, October 31st, also known as Halloween, the sacred book that brings together all the legends of Brazil is revealed. But on that date, other international mystical beings intend to steal the book and national legends and legends need to do something to stop them.
The main character is Henry, fiction editor for the struggling Logan’s magazine. Henry receives an unsolicited short story from up-and-coming novelist Reg Thorpe, and considers the story to be very dark, but also a masterpiece. Through his correspondence with Thorpe, Henry learns of—and, due to Henry’s own alcoholism, comes to believe in—Thorpe’s various paranoid fantasies.
