Book Description:
Set in Maine's remote Little Tall Island, the tale is all about vivid small-town characters, feuds, infidelities, sordid secrets, kids in peril, and gory portents in scrambled letters. The calamitous snowstorm is nothing compared to the mysterious mind-reading stranger Linoge, who uses magic powers to turn people's guilt against them -- when he's not simply braining them with his wolf-head-handled cane. Don't even glance at that cane -- it can bring out the devil in you.

Just as The Shining was concerned with marriage and alcoholism as much as it was with bad weather and worse spirits, Storm of the Century is more than a horror story. It's creepy because it's realistic.

I got this from a fellow paperback swapper and am returning the favor. It does have one spot on the inside page does not affect reading (I received it this way).
