A bizarre murder in an idyllic southern town propels a boy and his
father into a world of evil in this World Fantasy Award–winning horror
novel.
Small town boys see weird sights, and Zephyr has
provided Cory Jay Mackenson with his fair share of oddities. He knows
the bootleggers who lurk in the dark places outside of town. On moonless
nights, he’s heard spirits congregate in the churchyard to reminisce
about the good old days. He’s seen rain that flooded Main Street and
left it crawling with snakes. Cory knows magic, and relishes it as only a
young boy can.
One frosty winter morning, he and
his father watch a car jump the curb and sail into the fathomless town
lake. His father dives into the icy water to rescue the driver, and
finds a naked corpse handcuffed to the wheel. This chilling sight is
only the start of the strangest period of Cory’s life, when the magic of
his town will transform him into a man.
