If you like scary and reading things that gets your heart going. This may be for you. I could not put it down and yet I was scared to find out what was going to happen next.
Very very good book though a bit disturbing but those seem to be my favorite.
Good classic Saul storytelling, with all the gore and nastiness you would expect. Not for the weak of stomach.
After years of living in L.A., pretty young widow Karen Spellman and her two daughters are leaving urban chaos behind to return to the lush, verdant countryside of Karen's childhood, where she plans to marry her high school sweetheart. But their newfound bliss will soon turn to terror...
Something sinister awaits the Spellmans. Something so hideous it seems not earthly, but spawned in hell. For here, long ago, amid placid rolling fields, a shadowymenace once stalked the innocent. Dormant, it waits-waits for summer's heat to shimmer over the valley in a suffocating wave;waits for the arrival of its perfect victim...
And now, with the dizzying descent of a nightmare, Karen's homecoming will be a confrontation with evil, as she struggles to protect her vulnerable daughters from a menace that seems to rise from the earth itself-a malign, preternatural force that must satisfy its gruesome thirst for its unsuspecting prey...

this wasn't one of the best Saul books I have read but it was good, I just think he could have done a lot more with it!!
Not my favorite John Saul book, but still a fairly good read.
If you like scary books, like I do, then this one is for you! John Saul is a great writer of horror books.
This was my first John Saul book. He has become yet another "horror" author that I enjoy.
John Saul fans will love this book. I've read it twice now and loved it both times. Great book with a great ending.
I did not read this book myself. My daughter loves this genre and she described it as just ok.
Kept me reading all night... good characterizations
Excellent horror book! Right up there with John Saul.
This book was down right gross!!! If you are afraid of bugs or a little squeemish then this isnt the book for you. It scared the daylights out of me!!
