Publisher Description

For 13-year-old Ronnie Day, life is full of problems: Mom and Dad have separated, his brother Tim is a constant pest, Melanie Ward either loves him or hates him, and Jesus Christ won't stay in his heart. Plus he has to walk past the red church every day, where the Bell Monster hides with its wings and claws and livers for eyes. But the biggest problem is that Archer McFall is the new preacher at the church, and Mom wants Ronnie to attend midnight services with her. Sheriff Frank Littlefield hates the red church for a different reason. His little brother died in a freak accident at the church twenty years ago, and now Frank is starting to see his brother's ghost. And the ghost keeps demanding, Free me. Now people are dying in Whispering Pines, and the murders coincide with McFall's return.The Days, the Littlefields, and the McFalls are descendants of the original families that settled the rural Appalachian community. Those old families share a secret of betrayal and guilt, and McFall wants his congregation to prove its faith. Because he believes he is the Second Son of God, and that the cleansing of sin must be done in blood. Sacrifice is the currency of God, McFall preaches, and unless Frank and Ronnie stop him, everybody pays.

"Six Star Book!! I love most things written by master horror author, Scott Nicholson, this book finished in the top 3. I started reading this book one evening and didn't stop till I was finished. I had nightmares for two night after I finished the book! Damned liver eyed monster. Spooky stuff! Highly Recommended!"

    " Meh. I kept waiting for it to end. I love fantasy, sci-fi, and some supernatural stuff, but this one didn't do it for me. I did not realize when reading this that it was part of a series. I do not think I will read the rest. It stood up well as a stand-alone novel, so there was no cliffhanger to make me want to continue the series. "

    " This one really took me a long time to finish, its a dull story filled with religious propaganda. At least i didn't pay for it i got it for free in one of amazon offers. "

    " I read this several years ago when it first came out and loved it. Scott Nicholson writes not only great sinister stories, but his characters are so weirdly quirky that they are believable. "

    " I was unfamiliar with the author, and thought this book started out with promise. In short order it became ludicrous, then deathly dull. "

    " Very nicely written, realistically creepy and the characters ring true. Scott Nicholson's writing feels like some of Stephen King's, where you can feel the dirt on the ground and hear the accents surrounding you. Very nicely done. "

    " i enjoyed the book. In keeping with the mystery that involves religion and power, you never knew for sure what you were to be afraid of. God, the devil or someone else. "

    " One of the best newer horror books I've read. Dealing with the ultimate horror (God vs. Satan), it brings audiences into a severely flawed world that is in danger of ultimate ruin. "

    " I read this book only because of reviews that said it was not the typical horror novel. Hah! I was trying to expand my reading tastes, but there is a reason I stopped reading horror novels and this book had all those reasons rolled into it. Not for me. Ugh. "

    " Reasonably enjoyable but a slightly difficult flow. It also somehow lacked the resolution I hoped for. Nonetheless not a bad page-turner. "
