Twenty years ago, three children vanished from their beds in a quiet suburb. One morning, their families wake to find their sons and daughter have returned, grown and naked and deeply changed. Claiming to have found the Garden of Eden, they reveal the bizarre customs of a place that they reverently call "the woods." Devotees there aspire to an animalistic, ape-like state. The rules for living in the woods: No Speech. No Clothes. No Possessions. The commandments are two: Do no harm. Thou shalt not kill. It is these commandments that their parents discover are as crucial for survival in civilization as in the wilderness... For humans, too, are beasts.

In the summer of 1961, an innocent America eagerly anticipates the opening of a mysterious new theme park-the Ickack Pleasure Gardens. This park is rumored to be the dying wish of elusive tycoon Elijah Zallman Ickack: a desire for a place that can restore the joy and wonder of childhood written into his last will and testament. His great-nephew and heir, Freddy, must come forward to claim this fantastic, profitable, and improbable throne. Without Freddy, there can be no Ickack Gardens. But Freddy knows that there is more to this will, this park, and this man than the adoring public wants to think...

April Nimitz is recently widowed and is on the road, from Texas to Connecticut, to live with her daughters. She hopes to escape the multitude of her misdeeds and memories of her life in the hills of Texas, which include her time as a prisoner in an internment camp for German Americans during the second World War. These memories have, over time, corroded her into someone two-faced, someone who could beam and charm, as well as someone who could degrade and dominate her own children. Before leaving her small town of Himmel Creek for New England, she lashes out one last, and possibly fatal time, and does her best to beam and charm, all the while outrunning her crimes and pushing her daughters farther and farther away. Her only confidante is her husband's ghost, who reminds her of who she was and what she has done.

IVY DAY sacrifices herself for each picture, coming back from death in one role to be resurrected for the next. IVY DAY is a movie star. IVY DAY is an icon. IVY DAY is immortal. These are the tenets of her fans, her devotees. A trio of girls' sole shared ambition is to take up her uniform, their savior's blonde hair and branded makeup, which promises beauty and grace. They treat and poke and prod themselves, ascetics of aesthetics, revealing inner and outer horrors... A quiet collector builds a shrine to IVY DAY in the back of an old video store, transfixed on reel after reel of her performances... And there is JOHN MARK. He is her newest, biggest fan. He is her champion. And he will stop at nothing to assure her immortality.

Welcome to Andermatt County. Hill country. South-central Texas. The residents walk the terrain and feel the air as if in a haze of their own self-interest. The children live in a mystical void of wonder mixed with downtrodden hopes of their lives to come. In YE SHALL BE AS GODS, meet Emmett Anhalt, a young, curious boy who lives with all women, none of them giving him the time of day, so he embarks on a walk through the brush and woods where he is introduced to the alluring ways of Rex Henry Burr--a serial killer. Emmett and Rex's journeys together are chronicled in this story, along with the lives and hopes and dreams of their victims and other residents of Andermatt County, each with his or her own personal quirks and downfalls. In HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR BITSY, we are introduced to the proverbial paradise of living in Andermatt County's social circles. Esther Fielding, or bitsy, is turning six years old, and her mother only wishes for her to replace her love for dead squirrels and rodents with a love for dolls and teatimes. But is she doing this solely for herself? Or is Esther already limpidly trudging down the right road?
