Archibald Leech is a kind of secret agent deployed by a government agency called Control when the fabric of reality tears and all hell breaks loose. Control has to trust that once he is activated, some semblance of order will be restored to the space/time continuum. Leech is trying to prioritize the needs of his wife over the needs of Control, but it’s hard to retire when you’re the only line of defense against revenants, doppelgangers, and more otherworldly creatures.
VERDICT Foster’s (Dead Men) chain of stories reads a bit like watching a series of daily movie rushes with no inkling of what the script is about. Fans of speculative fiction mashed up with horror will eat this up, though enthusiasts of more conventional horror might give it a pass.
