Elliot Savant

A thirteen-year-old boy with a vivid imagination in a mountain town known for the bizarre. A formula for a suspenseful tale with a twist.

Dodger Dean has a vivid imagination that tends to get him in trouble at times â€" as in six or seven times a day. So much so that his mother has to beg Uncle Matt to take Dodger for a couple months each summer so she can recover a shred of sanity. But Foster Flat, where Uncle Matt lives, has its own unique characteristics that make for a dangerous combination for a boy like Dodger, who sometimes crosses the line with his imaginative stories of adventure and intrigue.

If you’re a fan of such stories as appeared on The Twilight Zone and those told by writers like Ray Bradbury and Neil Gaiman, you’ll feel right at home in Foster Flat as you journey into the world of a young boy with an imagination that often clashes with the real world.
