The Otherlight Dossier: Mastonia, Arkansas is the companion document to The Whistling Came First. It maps the town the novella never fully shows you — its history, its geography, its people, and the things that were documented about what happened there in 1926.
Framed as a classified file opened in 1960 and abandoned in 1963, the Dossier contains historical surveys, census records, witness depositions, and redacted entries that expand the world of the novella without explaining it away. It raises questions the story doesn't answer and answers questions the story doesn't ask.
