Just because you can't see them doesn't mean they're not there.
It was a normal Christmas Eve until Jeff Tanner's son Davey snapped a turkey wishbone and made a crazy wish.
Now Jeff is seeing strange things that no one else can - bug-eyed babies, walking teddy bears, and tiny freaks galore.
What's worse, they don't like him. Not one bit.
Now Jeff has to figure out why they're angry, and quick, before his life is ruined by a million, invisible...

Excerpt:
Jeff Tanner was running for his life.
The problem was, none of the other people walking on the city streets around him knew what he was running from. Not the businessmen and women in their sharp suits, or the college students with their backpacks, or the elementary school kids on a field trip, or the homeless guys who watched with amazed, grimy faces as Jeff raced past.
Because none of those people could see…THEM.
In his terror, Jeff allowed himself one glance over his shoulder to see how close they were, to see if they were gaining.
He shouldn’t have done it. As soon as he looked away, his foot hit a raised crack in the cement sidewalk, and down he went on all fours.
Despite the pain of banged knees and scraped palms, he immediately flipped over on his back and stared at them rushing down the street. It was like a tidal wave – all those thousands of tiny eyes, those snarling mouths, the grasping hands reaching for him and him alone.
Somewhere in the back of his mind, the part that wasn’t operating on sheer adrenaline, Jeff swore that whenever he saw another person talking to himself in the park or swatting at things in the subway, he wouldn’t think that guy was crazy.
Unless I’m going crazy, too, he thought.
No. He couldn’t believe that; he couldn’t allow himself to think that for one second.
Even if it were true.
Just because other people can’t see them…doesn’t mean they’re not there.
He repeated that to himself over and over again as he scrambled to his feet.
