Imagine if you would - without warning, and quite against your freewill - you find yourself traveling to another dimension. It is a dimension of sight and sound and mind. It lies between the pit of our fears and the summit of our It came quietly and is invisible, yet deadly. It knows nothing of the norms of regular society but creates its own rules. It is both ruthless and relentless; no one is safe. You are moving into a land of shadows and substance, of life and death.

If any of your Norwegian immigrants lived near Ida Grove, Iowa, the library at Ida Grove received a grant to microfilm and digitize their collection of newspapers dating back to the 1870's.
