And yet they manage to pull it off in this. [=MabTNG=] was writing this a chapter at a time, and [[ScheduleSlip went on pause for about a year]] with about three chapters left to go -- and a number of readers nearly ran mad emailing the poor woman asking her "WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO FINISH!"

90	* Recommended by [=TheAmazingBlachman=]
91	* ''Status'': Complete
92	* ''Synopsis:'' An FBI agent is shot and killed right inside the FBI HQ in what appears to be a high-profile assassination in broad daylight, but afterward his body shows no signs of violence and his assassin vanishes into thin air just as abruptly as he appeared. Considering the very strange circumstances surrounding the death, the case is handed to Mulder and Scully. As they investigate of the man's service history, they find an old case him and his partner worked on, involving a psychic hotline and several mysterious deaths. The trace eventually leads them to the small, run-down town of Crampton, where nothing is as it seems...
93	* ''Comments:'' A well-written ScriptFic that is easy to imagine as an actual episode of the show (and, indeed, Ligotti actually tried pitching it to the show) and perhaps one of the most successful attempts at combining ''The X-Files'' with the CosmicHorrorStory genre. The work captures Mulder and Scully's character dynamic incredibly well and, though somewhat toned down in the name of OriginalFlavour, manages to hit several of the dark notes from Ligotti's other cosmic horror stories.
