A young man awakes from a recurring nightmare to find that, once again, his apartment has been destroyed: the TV is on fire, the mirrors shattered, the aquarium exploded with such force that shards of glass are embedded in the opposite wall; and once again a voice is saying, "Come home..." And so he does. Home is the small Maine town where his parents were both killed in a grotesque car wreck years before. The kind of town Stephen King has described as 'mostly indifference spiced with an occasional vapid evil-or worse, a conscious one.' A small town caught in a centuries-old war between supernatural forces. This is a genuinely frightening tale of death and demons, love and possession.
