Praise for this book

"A riveting and bloodcurdling novel of small-town horror by one of the premier horror writers of his or any generation." - Stephen King

"It's entertaining, suspenseful, but it's a lot of other things too...and while it's nasty enough to give us a kick in the shins, it is oddly tender towards the world." - Peter Straub
