- Fiction, Hallucinations and illusions, Neighborhood, Suburban life
The adventures of Earl Keese, a pudgy homeowner living on a dead-end road in the country. A younger couple moves in next door and begins to harass Earl in a fashion that is by turns sinister and fetching. Earl's reactions follow suit. Some moments in the 24-hours chronicled in Neighbors seem a blissful fantasy, while others seem a nightmare.
