We are all afraid, to some extent, of things that go bump in the night, regardless of race, religion, etc. Being from a small town, and having some personal experience with more "extreme" religions, I could totally relate to the eye rolling of certain characters at the mere mention of religions traditions - or superstitions" of the grandmother in this story, but at the same time, could relate as well to her firm belief that there's something more out there than meets the eye, and we'd better be respectful of that which we cannot see. The two sides of the coin. The frightening twist in which the two sides are brought together at the end of this book will definitely leave you wondering about that bump you heard outside your window last night.

Bentley Little proves himself a master at macabre once more by taking that and twisting it into something so frightening that I found myself sleeping with the night light on the night I finished this book!

A man wins the lottery and moves his family into an old house in McGrane, Arizona. Horrible murders start happening (as only Bentley Little could conceive of them) and personality changes and terrible accidents. This is a plenty scary book!

Gregory Tomasov has returned with his family to the quaint Arizona community of his youth. In McGuane the air is clean, the land is unspoiled. Nothing much has changed. Except now, no one goes out after dark. And no onee told Gregory that he shouldnt have moved into the old abandoned farm on the edge of town. Once upon a time soemthing bad happened there. Something now reborn in the nightmares of Gregory's yound son. Somethihng that was about to be unleashed.
