It's a story about a group of six investigators looking into disturbing rumors about a vast cypress forest near an isolated town in Virginia that is named Holloway. The locals of Holloway say that the forest is cursed. That is because most people who enter it vanish. The 'lucky' ones who return come out are far different than they were when they went in. Some are unable to distinguish friend from foe. Others are irrationally paranoid of the world around them. The truly lucky ones emerge sane, but with key parts of their identity twisted into the opposite of what it was before. The investigators only intended to ask around the town itself, but when one of the more impulsive members ventures into the forest and vanishes, the others must unravel the generations old mystery surrounding the forest if they ever want to see their friend again.
[That's probably the most Rebecca's ever heard Poe speak. He gives her more plot details at first than he did to the clown because he's far more fond of her than he ever will be of the clown.... though he's not giving away the twist ending and various morbid secrets that are uncovered. How will he ever know if they work if he just flat out tells her about them?]
...and that's the most details I can give without getting into spoilers.
