When 8-year-old Reg's grisly (if accidental) crime is discovered by the conspiracy theorist Goose, they are compelled to strike a Faustian bargain: Goose will find a safe haven for Reg, and Reg will reunite Goose with his missing daughter, who disappeared fourteen years earlier. Making the best of this tenuous partnership, and sticking to his promise to keep his alien powers in check, sinister forces soon undermine Reg's newfound serenity. Reg is swiftly forced to make a series of diabolical choices that leave him, and his newfound family, teetering on the brink of conflict and collapse.

Inspired by John Wyndham's The Midwich Cuckoos, Patricia Highsmith's Ripley series, and eighties-/nineties-era Stephen King, IMPOSTOR SYNDROME is a suspenseful, fast-paced, and unrepentantly pulpy love letter to alien invasion sci-fi, cult thrillers, and late-20th-century horror.
