Publisher Description
In the tradition of Salem’s Lot and The Exorcist comes a mesmerizing novel of murder, possession and twisted family secrets. A recovering alcoholic on the run from his past, all Billy Smith wants is to be left alone. But commanded by the voices in his head to commit acts of violence he does not understand, he kidnaps a prostitute known only as Angel and heads north to a bucolic little New England town called White Falls. Something monstrous has taken root in White Falls, and has waited centuries for the right time to awaken. Psyches begin to unravel and violence erupts. The fate of the living ultimately rests on the back of one man. For the dead are watching…And they are hungry.

" This one was real boring for the first half of the book, but it picked up big time in the second half, scaring the crap out of me! Taboo stuff mixed in with big time frights, welcome Nate Kenyone to horror history! "

" Old school horror novel - well written and sets the scene well, although the twist is a little predictable "
— I.E., 12/11/2012 -
" The horror builds slowly, making it all that more satisfying when it comes full bloom at the end. Plus, I grew up in a small, rural town, so I am endlessly fascinated by stories about the evils hidden in such places. "
