"This is horror on a grand scale, reminiscent of Stephen King." --Publishers WeeklyThe book that launched the Pine Deep trilogyThirty years ago, a blues musician called the Bone Man killed the devil at the crossroads, only to be beaten and hung like a scarecrow in a cornfield--or so the story goes. Today, the people of Pine Deep celebrate their town's grisly past by luring tourists to the famous haunted hayride, full of chills and scares. But this year, "The Spookiest Town in America" will learn the true meaning of fear. Its residents will see the real face of evil lurking behind the masks of ordinary people. They will feel it--in their hearts, in their bones, in their nightmares. Because evil never dies. It only grows stronger…"Jonathan Maberry's horror is rich and visceral. It's close to the heart…and close to the jugular." --Kevin J. Anderson"Maberry has the chops to craft stories at once intimate, epic, real, and horrific." --Bentley Little"Maberry spins great stories. His (Pine Deep) vampire novels are unique and masterful." --Richard Matheson"Maberry's works will be read for many, many years to come." --Ray Bradbury
