About this ebook

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “One of the most adroit masters of the supernatural thriller” (San Francisco Chronicle) delivers a chilling novel about a man seeking the truth about what happened on a horrifying night on a Midwestern campus in the 1960s. • "Terrifying.... Impossible to put down." —Stephen King

On a college campus, a charismatic guru and his young acolytes perform a secret ritual in a local meadow. What happens is a mystery—all that remains is a gruesomely dismembered body and the shattered souls of all who were present. Forty years later, one man seeks to learn about that horrifying night, and to do so he’ll have to force those involved to examine the unspeakable events that have haunted them ever since.

I bought the book at goodwill and didn't notice the first 18 pages were missing. I'm trying to get them in a sample before I read the rest of it. I like pretty much every book I've read by Peter Straub. But I love how all these literary geniuses dissect his work. I wonder if just one of them could even come close to what he does.

It was ok. Most of the book doesn't really go anywhere. Had some interesting ideas at the end. If you can make it to the halfway point the book gets better.
