I loved this whole series. John Saul always knows how to scare me when I need to be scared. grabs me and holds me in the book til the end.

The Blackstone Chronicles are short novels. Each novel in the series revolves around an object with a connection to the old Blackstone Insane Asylum. People in the town receive these items and horror and mayhem follow. I am a fan of John Saul horror novels, and these are good as well.

The long-abandoned drive-in theater just outside Blackstone is now a sprawling Sunday flea market, the perfect place for Rebecca Morrison to find a "welcome home" gift for her cousin Andrea - a beautiful cigarette lighter in the form of a dragon...

This series was ok, but I always find Saul to come up lacking when the story is over.

Rebecca Morrison bought a cigarette lighter in the shape of a dragon with ruby eyes from a flea market as a welcome home gift for her cousin Andrea Ward, who left Blackstone years ago after an argument with her mother, Rebecca's aunt Martha. Why has Andrea returned to Blackstone? Rebecca, who has lived with her aunt Martha ever since her own parents died when she was very young, didn't know that the lighter would bring evil into the Ward home, evil that has been there once before.

As in all the Blackstone Chronicles, a gift brings eveil. This time the gift is in the form of a cigarette lighter in the form of a dragon...an exotic item that the salesperson does not remember seeing before.

Re-read.
The dark figure has chosen the Ward family as their next victim. Martha Ward is a religious fanatic. She drove her husband away and then her only daughter, and when her sister died in a car accident, she took in her niece Rebecca and tried to teach her the path of righteousness. Everyone in town refers to her as "Poor Rebecca" as they all believe the accident has left her mentally deficient, but really, it just removed her filter.
Years later, dumped, fired and pregnant, Rebecca's cousin, Andrea, has no choice but to return to the home she fled from the day she turned 18. Rebecca is thrilled and decides to buy a welcome home gift for her cousin. The dark figure makes sure that the gift Rebecca finds in a dragon-head lighter with ruby eyes. Andrea is only home for a few days before everything goes horribly wrong.
Needless to say, the dragon lighter is a bad, bad idea. Looks like tragedy is only getting started in this town.
