"Few writers have Mr. Farris's talent for masterfully devious plotting, the shatteringly effective use of violence, in-depth characterization and scenes of gibbering horror guaranteed to turn one's blood to gelatin." —New York Times

"Farris has a genius for creating compelling suspense." —Peter Benchley, author of Jaws

"A horrifying, terrifying chiller." —Publishers Weekly

"Farris has a remarkable ability to jab his literary ice pick into the bone marrow. With uncanny reality he depicts raw evil, partiularly the sort which masquerades as innocence. It is genuine terror and Farris provides it with an attribute lacking in the work of the most contemporary storytellers: style." —Brian Garfield, author of Death Wish

“And seeing the book as prelude to today's masters of the paranormal crime mystery (like John Connolly) is irresistible.”—Kingdom Books, Mysteries
