Since coming to Crossroads, Oklahoma, former outcast Aden Stone has been living the good life. Never mind that one of his best friends is a werewolf, his girlfriend is a vampire princess who hungers for his blood, and he's supposed to be crowned Vampire King - while still a human! Well, kind of. With four - oops, three now - human souls living inside his head, Aden has always been "different" himself. These souls can time-travel, raise the dead, possess another's mind and, his least favorite these days, tell the future.

The chief function of most Menomini associations is dancing, always with a religious motive, but, while there are no purely social clubs, per se, there is always great social activity during the performance of the public rites of the dreamers.

And there's 300 dollars waiting for anyone who catches poor Jim.
