Book Description:

Something sinister is at work in Hyde River, an isolated old mining town in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. Something evil.


Under the cover of darkness, it strikes without warning, taking life in the most chilling and savage fashion. The latest victim, nature photographer Cliff Benson, was brutally killed while camping in the mountains.


The harder townsfolk are pressed for information, the more they close ranks, as if sworn to secrecy. The discovery of the old letters and diaries of the town's forefathers begin to peel away the layers of mystery surrounding Hyde River. What is discovered is a predator more terrifying than anything they had imagined and a town in the grip of unspeakable evil.

A very enjoyable read. Good v Evil in a mysterious isolated mining town in the Pacific Northwest. Frank Peretti also wrote "The Visitation." He is a popular Christian writer. Great stories w/o the "popular" language used by some authors.

This story is about a town and the oath that the original settlers took. The oath allowed something to have control over the town. The townspeople think they can control it but as the story progresses you can see that no one can control this thing. Peretti wrote this to be an allegory to the Christian life.

Very well written, but I don't like this kind of story line. Reminds me of Stephen King.
