“Coos Bay could easily be the setting for the location of a John Carpenter movie or those opening chapters of a Stephen King novel, where the viewer/reader is waiting to find out if, this time, it’s the sheriff, the dog or the cat that’s been possessed by a demon. Clean, quiet and with inhabitants so spookily friendly that you can’t square it with the town’s oddly tragic claims to fame: numerous shipwrecks and ‘Oregon’s only recorded lynching’.”
