Charles Grant je oslavovaný pre svoje majstrovstvo v "temnej fantasy" a "tichom horore", pričom tvorí naratívy, ktoré sa ponárajú do znepokojivých tém s výrazným, atmosférickým štýlom. Jeho príbehy často skúmajú psychologické hĺbky strachu, pričom splietajú zložité zápletky, ktoré zanechávajú na čitateľovi trvalý dojem. Grantov jedinečný prístup k žánru spočíva v jeho subtílnosti, zameriavajúcej sa na náladu a postavu namiesto otvorených šokov. Jeho významné príspevky upevnili jeho postavenie ako kľúčovej postavy modernej špekulatívnej fikcie.

Všetky obete spája navonok iba jedno - zahynuli nevysvetliteľným spôsobom, prežívajúc v posledných okamihoch života neľudské utrpenie... Preto dvaja obľúbení agenti FBI, ktorí zasiahnu do života obyvateľov novomexického mestečka, usadlíkov na rančoch a indiánskej rezervácii v horách, opäť balansujú na hranici života a smrti...

One of the most unnatural natural disasters imaginable, leading to a most painful, most certain, and most hideous death… Mulder and Scully, FBI The agency maverick and the female agent assigned to keep him in line. Their job: investigate the eerie unsolved mysteries the Bureau wants handled quietly, but quickly, before the public finds out what's really out there. And panics. The cases filed under "X."
