Quote:It's the summer of 1960 and in the small town of Elm Haven, Illinois, five twelve-year-old boys are forging the powerful bonds that a lifetime of change will not break. But amid the sun-drenched cornfields and the sly flirtations of the local young girls, that loyalty will be piteously tested. From the silent depths of the Old Central School, a hulking fortress tinged with the mohagany scent of cofffins, an invisible evil is emerging. And now Mike, Duane, Dale, Harlen, and Kevin must wage a freaternal war of blood - against an arcane abomination who stalks the hours after dark...
Mike will also be a hero in the vampire novel, Children of the Night but, he will, of course be a grown man then.
The award winning sequel to this book is called A Winter Haunting and relates Dale's return to his hometown...also as an adult. Our lives are the songs that sing the universe into existence.~David Zindell ****Tavern Wench of DOGMA, the Defenders of George Martin's Art****<i></i>
