Hiding beneath a poker table, Mary Pierce overhears Oldtown's most maniacal, demented villains bicker and recall their interactions with the city's mysterious superhero, the caterpillar. The monstrous bug that means the difference between justice and injustice, life and death. She finds herself party to the most bizarre and deranged tales imaginable, taking in man-eating tigers, villainous diseases, giant poker-playing pythons, sea-witches, and the haunting, child-snatching Sandman, back from Mary's childhood with a vengeance.
