“The best thing about being human, Rand, is that you can kill someone and enjoy it.” Then he laughed again and the laughter deepened and became wild.

EVIL IS ALIVE AND WELL IN THE NORTHERN TOWN OF KINNIWAW.

It was a long, strange summer for Kinniwaw. The heat had brought drought and, with it, the stirring of a dark, and ancient secret. A spectre made mostly of hate walks the land, feeding off the pain of the town, off the damaged souls who live there. He is using his power to twist the minds of those on the edge, so that they commit acts of evil in his name. People begin to die. For twenty-one year old Randall Craig, his girlfriend, and his two closest friends, it seems like a normal summer. Then the murders start and they begin to wonder: is it one of us? Or has a serial killer come to town? And will they be able to face the spectre as it rises from the dead in a form that is truly terrifying?
