Description

An once-respected college professor and novelist, Dale Stewart has sabotaged his career and his marriage -- and now darkness is closing in on him. Within the last hours of Halloween he's returned to the dying town of Elm Haven, his boyhood home, where he hopes to locate peace in isolation. But getting into a long-deserted farmhouse on the far outskirts of town -- the main one-time residence of a strange and brilliant friend who lost his young life in a grisly "accident" in the terrible summer of 1960 -- is just the newest in his long succession of recent mistakes. Because Dale isn't alone here.
