From sunset bike rides to shaded hiding places in the woods, the boys' days are marked by all of the secrets and silences of an idyllic childhood. But amid the sun-drenched cornfields, their loyalty will be pitilessly tested. When a long-silent bell peals in the middle of the night, the townsfolk know it marks the end of their carefree days. From the depths of the Old Central School, a hulking fortress tinged with the mahogany scent of coffins, an invisible evil is rising.

Determined to exorcize this ancient plague, Mike, Duane, Dale, Harlen, and Kevin must wage a war of blood—against an arcane abomination who owns the night.…

Dan John Miller is the perfect choice to narrate this book. His methodical approach underlines the graphic horror subtly, yet masterfully. Be carefully if you are squeamish, as descriptions of monsters and various horrid acts go to excruciating detail. The story itself is self contained and well paced.
