Alone in the howling winter MaryAnne must guard her children against an unseen, insatiable killer. A killer who is closer than she thinks. Now she begins to know the true meaning of terror.

A strange combination of science fiction and horror. A good novel. It ended too soon.

I was intrigued by this book from the very first page until the last, although I thought the ending was a bit dragged out and some parts seemed repetitive. My imagination went wild with this story and I had a hard time putting the book down so I not only lost a night of sleep reading but also a night remembering...

Typical fun John Saul read. But then again, I own everything he is written. This one evokes alot of great images of open spaces and climbing through the woods and mountains.

Enough to give even an adult creepers before going to bed. If you love Koontz or King this book is one of the best horror and mystery books I've ever read.
