Publisher's Synopsis
Barry Redcrow survived Vietnam, but his true battle is just beginning.
When Barry returns home, haunted by visions of his Passamaquoddy ancestors, he uncovers a dark, ancient power within his bloodline-a force that's been locked in a generations-old fight against evil. Taking a job at a decaying asylum deep within the ominous woods of the Massachusetts Middlesex Fells, Barry finds himself surrounded by unusual allies: a gifted patient, a determined police sergeant, his long-deceased grandfather, and even nature itself. But lurking in the shadows is Tommy Neveska, a man who calls himself the "Preacher," twisted by a childhood of cruelty and loss. Now, with a thirst for power and mastery of the occult, Neveska has his own sinister plans-to unleash terror and suffering on an unimaginable scale. As nightmares bleed into reality, Barry and his allies must confront a darkness that grows stronger with every setting sun. In a place where evil thrives in the dead of night, they'll soon discover that survival isn't guaranteed. The only question is whether they'll stand together against the encroaching horror-or fall victim to a malevolent force older than time. The night is long, and evil is always watching.
