There are worse things than the Ones Who Dwell in the Dark...Vince Marino is a dispirited sixteen-year-old, who is afflicted with anxiety panic disorder and an excessive fear of the dark. In his mind, he has nowhere else to turn but suicide. His one and only friend, Melissa, suggests he try hypnotherapy, which helped her deal with depression after her father's death. Desperate, Vince agrees. In his first session, Vince recounts a terrifying experience he had three years earlier at Goat's Head, a local haunt in his small hometown of Yucaipa. He and his then best friends, Jarrod and Ethan, went to retrieve a goat's skull that was said to hang on a barn owned by a presumed dead cult leader, Blackie Wilson. Here he encounters the Ones Who Dwell in the Dark. When Bruce McGrail, Vince's hypnotherapist, returns home that evening from work, he finds his house has been broken into by an unwelcomed visitor. A visitor that won't stay away. Bruce and his family's nightmare begins as they start to realize that there might be a connection between what now stalks them and Vince's encounter with the Ones Who Dwell in the Dark.

In this accessible ethnography of a small town in northern Mozambique, everyday cultural knowledge and behaviors about food, cooking, and eating reveal the deeply human pursuit of a nourishing life. This emerges less through the consumption of specific nutrients than it does in the affective experience of alimentation in contexts that support vitality, compassion, and generative relations. Embedded within central themes in the study of Africa south of the Sahara, the volume combines insights from philosophy and food studies to find textured layers of meaning in a seemingly simple cuisine.

The main character, TANA, meaning trispecies allocated nanobotics allegiance, is part of a government experiment. She was created in a science lab, along with ninety-nine others. She was part of a small selection placed in poverty to monitor her ability to adapt. She was placed in this societal setting as a young child and had no idea she was special. Dr. White is a telepathic scientist involved in her creation and has been monitoring her from the beginning. She runs a secret facility where various creatures are kept, placed, and studied for various reasons. T3V1N and M8W, aka Tev and JR, are human robot hybrids who work for Dr. White. After the destruction of the majority of the program by the elite, Dr. White sends Tev and JR to obtain TANA and return her to the facility for the awakening process. TANA has many gifts and abilities that she is unaware of, and they affect the environment in not only this world but in multiple other worlds as well, per her emotional state. TANA did not go easily, nor did she want to cooperate once she was obtained. This caused multiple natural disasters and dangerous disruptions, until they retrieved the love of her life, Zinc. After Zinc and TANA are reunited, TANA agrees to cooperate, and she begins the process. Once she begins her awakening process, she becomes very ill, and her physical body dies in the isolation chamber while they all watch from the monitor outside of the chamber. TANA has a very intense God encounter that enlightens, renews, and resurrects her. After her resurrection, everything become clear as to what her destiny is and what she is supposed to do, which is to save the galaxy.
