You won't find Knicksport, Long Island by any map, GPS, or main road. To get there, you must lose your way along lonely, tree-shadowed back roads that wind through grooves of time and reality, byways that trace the glacial hills, marshlands, and wooded pockets tucked into the suburban landscape growing like verdigris clinging to rock.

If you can find your way there, you can walk down Main Street, admire the ships moored in the harbor, stop in at Raker's for a drink and soak up some of the local lore; stroll past the town's historic buildings and houses-though you might not like what watches you from behind their curtains; sample the local fare-though you might not like how it changes you; dig into the local history-if you're not afraid of dark secrets; and even hike the hills at night-if you're not worried about ever
