Description
The affluent community in Corpus Christi is unaffected by the bizarre environmental disaster that completely destroyed Bedford, a neighbouring town, only a few miles away.
However, when third-grade schoolteacher Lois Larkin takes the children on a field trip to the site of the disaster, everything changes. There, in the abandoned woods, a small boy unearths a horror unlike any other.
The long, dark night is just beginning. A malevolent contagion starts to spread, and will not rest until it has devoured every living soul in Corpus Christi... and beyond.
The apocalypse approaches in this Bram Stoker Award winning horror by Sarah Langan. Perfect for fans of A. M. Shine and Rebecca Netley.
Langan has a sharp eye for the small, vivid details of American life, and her characters are utterly believable. Reminiscent of early Stephen King, this is not for the squeamish.' The Times
