When Jason saw his grandfather, the renowned surgeon Dr. Patrick Barron, carrying a woman's lifeless body into the woods, he was terrified. When Dr. Barron admitted to it and started explaining why it was necessary, Jason's life would never be the same. Dr. Barron recounts the brutal murder of his wife and the secret world he uncovered trying to bring her killer to justice-a world filled with monsters wearing human faces, cults, and even stranger things... The Outsiders: Book One tells the story of Dr. Barron and his grandson, but it also contains a number of other interconnected stories spanning decades and worlds beyond this one. This is the definitive entry point into The Outsiders universe-a place where nothing is what it seems and depending on who you ask, the heroes may be the biggest monsters of them all.
